Bible Question (short): What nations did Sarah mother? |
Question (full): Hi eklektos, Thank you for your welcome and your answer. The covenant made in verses 4, 5, and 6 of Gen. 17 appears to me to be a covenant in regards to Sarah and Isaac and not to Hagar and Ishmael or to Keturah. Please correct me if I am in error on this point. Gen 17:20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard and heeded you: behold, I will bless him and will make him fruitful and will multiply him exceedingly; He will be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation. Gen 17:21 But My covenant, My promise and pledge, I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this season next year. Verses 20-21 confirm this covenant is established with Isaac. Also verse 16. Gen 17:16 And I will bless her and give you a son also by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall come from her. So, let me rephrase my question. What nations did Sarah mother as referred to in 17: 4-6, and 16, other than Israel and Judah? Thanks again, Hoth |
