Every generation after Sarah, looked up to her as an inspiring women. Sarah, who was a half- sister to Abraham but also a wife to him, grew up to be a hundred and twenty seven years old. Sarah was not able to have kids throughout her whole marriage to Abraham. Ninety years into her life, she becomes pregnant, by the grace of God. But Sarah was an inpatient women who couldn't be satisfied with trusting in God and that is why her story is one of the biggest, because she was the source of a religion
This paper will discuss the lives of Abraham and Lot in Genesis 13 and 19. In Genesis 1: 27 Terah is the father of Abraham, Nahor, and Haran. They are all brothers. Haran has a son and his name is Lot. According to Genesis 12: 1 God told Abraham to leave his country, and go elsewhere. In verse 5 he takes his nephew Lot along for the journey. In Genesis 12 Abraham, Sarai and Lot dwelled in Egypt and were told to leave the land. In Genesis 13 Abraham and Lot each have cattle to care for. Both decided
Genesis sixteen serves to fulfill one of the fundamental pillars of God’s promise to Abraham, which is repeated throughout the biblical genesis text on numerous occasions. In the text we see Abraham troubled with the lack of a rightful heir due to the barrenness of his wife Saria. To resolve this issue Abraham and Saria jointly turn to the slave wife Hagar to produce a child. However, despite following traditional customs contempt is quickly bred in the story, as the characteristic kinship roles
Contemporary Jewish feminist writers often overlook the story of Hagar in Genesis. The two short chapters (16 and 21) are typically analyzed with respect to the matriarch Sarah or the first son of Abraham, Ishmael, but rarely focus on the figure that connects the two.

Abraham, born Abram, plays a prominent role in the Christian faith and shares his story in chapters 11-25 in the Book of Genesis. One particular part of his story caught the eye of hundreds of artists around the world, the binding of Isaac where Abraham almost sacrificed his only son put of love and fear of God.

the wives of Abraham and Jacob, are barren and thus do not give birth to the firstborn sons for the husbands. Both women desire their son to be the heir of their husband. Sarah has Abraham banish Hagar and Ishmael so that Isaac would not have to share the inheritance that was due to Ishmael.

Both father’s speak of their love
