Bible Question: Gen 21:8-21 What hints of trouble do you see in the Genesis record of the births and early lives of Ishmael and Isaac? |
Bible Answer: Genesis 16:4-16 prety much gives us a clue that there is going to be continuing trouble here. Verse 5 shows the anger, Verse 6 shows Abraham rather than dealing with the problem seems to almost try to appease Sarah. We see Hagars attitude in end of verse 6. We see the prophecy by the angel that Ishmael is described as a wild donkey of a man. Many believe this to say he will have a contentious and disagreeable nature. EdB |
