Bible Note: Dear Michael, You asked, "How did you come to the conclusion...?" As I recall I was taught it as a child. I was also taught it in upper division Old Testament and New Testament History classes. From what I am given to understand, it is commonly accepted perspective, at least ever since Hadrian's pejorative application of the name to the area. You wrote, "I haven't digested the evidence." Okay. I have. Burp. :-) DNA stuff: Yes, interesting that they would confirm the common lineage of Ishmael and Isaac to Father Abraham. We already knew that from Scripture. In Him, Doc |
