Welcome to my Hebrew reading & language series.
Genesis 17:18-20
Abraham had a difference of opinion with the Creator and ask if Ishmael could be made like the stars of the sky instead of having another child.
God told him "No" and restated that Sarah would have a son. He must call him Y'st-chac (Isaac: which means "he laughed") and the everlasting covenant would be established through Y'ts-chac.
But God went on to tell him that Ishmael has been blessed and will be the father of twelve princes. A great nation will come from Ishmael! All would agree that the Arab nations are very rich and prosperous.
Thank you for visiting! Read with me as we take a look at the nations of the earth from Noah's sons to the children of Abraham. Video link below.

Amazing teaching today, though I still have uncertainty about how Ishmael's future came to be however thanks for the lessons today really. It was amazing and it's been a while.
Abraham lack of patience to believe in God promise for him makes him have ishmeal but God want him to have his own son of itself
