In Genesis 15, Abraham and his wife Sara still did not have a child and that was becoming a great concern for him. Abraham lamented to God about his posterity. God reassures him saying, “This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.” 5 Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.” Abraham believed God. In Genesis 16, In her desperation

The “Sacrifice of Isaac” created by John Lievens (Dutch, 1607 - 1674) attributes to the events in the bible of Abraham sacrificing his son and made in 1659. Lievens began his career as an independent artist at the age of twelve and later died in 1674 due to financial issues. It is a famous story in the Hebrew Bible and begins with God telling Abraham to kill his son, Isaac, on Moriah in Genesis 22:1-19. Having no hesitation to kill his own son, Abraham takes Isaac and prepares the altar. Right before

Isaac was the long anticipated son of Abraham and Sarah. He was the son of the promise in which God gave to Abraham. However, Isaac was born into a hostile environment because of is half brother Ishmael. There was great favoritism played between the boys in the family which eventually Isaac won and Ishmael moved out. Tragically, Isaac’s life just about came to an end when his father obeyed the instructions of the Lord and headed to Mount Moriah to sacrifice him as a burnt offering. Isaac was not fully

Unlike many other ancient texts, women in the Bible have a very prominent and important role in deciding the future of their lineage and often, their nations. However, an initial reading of the Bible without historical context often leads the reader to the assumption that women often are a detriment; committing actions that appear deceitful or resulting in punishment. However, if we approach these stories with their historical context in mind, we see that initial impressions do not hold true. Women

and spirit are restricted, or dictated, by Abram and Sarah. This ownership extends as far as Abram having possession of Hagar's body. When Sarah does not or cannot give Abram a child, Hagar is expected to do so. Dutifully, she bears him a son named Ishmael. In the same fashion that the law binds the Biblical Hagar to Abram and Sarah, Hagar Shipley is bound by - as D. Blewett points out - the Currie code of values, the Shipley freedom, and the Manawakan elitist attitude, in addition to her own pride

Panel number 4 of Ghiberti’s Gates of Paradise on the Baptistery de San Giovanni depicts Abraham and Isaac. On this panel the story of Abraham and Isaac is told. As is seen by just glancing at the panel, there seems to be a man up on a mountain, about to strike down on a man who is bent over on his knees. There is also an angel right above them. Below the mountain, there are two men having a conversation in a lounged position, and one of their donkeys is standing nearby. On the other side, there

Hagar An interestingly unusual, albeit hope providing Christophany, Hagar, Sarai's servant girl, was pregnant by Abram, a plan hatched by Sarai, and was then driven away from their home by her contempt filled mistress. In Chapter 16:7-14, “The Angel of The Lord” appears to Hagar and even calls her by name. He commands that Hagar return to Abram's family and He will in turn bless her. Though I'm not quite sure any mother would want God to bless her child as God does in verse 12. “He shall be a wild

Research Paper 3 The Call and Promises of Abraham Gen12:1-3 “Now the Lord had said unto Abraham, get thee out off thy country, and from thy kindred, and from the father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee; And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee ,and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curceth thee, and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”God called Abraham from his family and from

The life of Abraham is one of varied geographical places as Abraham moves from place to place as well as an expedition through life's ups and downs with its challenges and disappointment. Abraham's spiritual life is also a journey, as he moves from periods of great faith to those moments of weakness and sin. Ultimately we find that Abraham, this man of faith, learned to trust in God as he traveled, not only from his home in Ur but as he journeyed towards faith. One of the first major events in
