Isaac CHRONOLOGICAL SUMMARY I. Isaac and Abraham A. The supernatural birth of Isaac 1. Isaac was promised to his parents and named by God himself even before he was born (Gen. 17:9, 21). 2. He was born from Sarah’s barren womb, which God had supernaturally touched (Gen. 18:10-11). 3. Abraham was 100 and Sarah was 90 at the birth of their son (Gen. 17:17; 21:5). B. The submissive spirit of Isaac (Gen. 22:1-11) 1. Isaac accompanied Abraham upon Mr. Moriah to become a sacrifice as commanded by God. 2. At first he was unaware that he himself would be the sacrifice. 3. He thus asked his father: “Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” (Gen.

  • The Sons of Keturah – Islam in Prophecy
    mark h lane www.biblenumbersforlife.com THE SONS OF KETURAH – ISLAM IN PROPHECY Is the Prophet Mohammed in Scripture? Yes he is. He is called the 'Blessed Guide'. But he is no blessing. The Biblical account of Keturah will explain this. There was a marriage problem between Abraham and Sarah. We don't know if due to her age Sarah lost interest or rebuffed Abraham for other reasons, but we know they stopped sleeping together. To meet his physical and emotional needs, Abraham took a concubine named Keturah and fathered children by her. Some translations of Genesis 25 verse 1 say “Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah”. This is a mistranslation. The Hebrew word in this verse is ‘ishshah’ which means ‘woman’. It can mean ‘wife’ in some contexts but not in this context. We know Keturah was not the wife of Abraham because it is written in verse 5 and verse 6: “Abraham left everything to Isaac. But while he was still living, he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them away from his son Isaac to the land of the East”. The Hebrew word is ‘piylegesh’ and it has the unmistakable meaning of ‘concubine’ or ‘paramour’. The image above is of a belly-dancer, a harlot of Arabia. You will notice the harlot has her face covered by a veil. According to the Bible, wearing a full-face veil is the mark of a harlot. Concerning another harlot, Tamar, the Bible says: “she took off her widow’s clothes, covered herself with a veil to disguise herself, and then sat down at the entrance to Enaim…” (Genesis 38:13).

    University City Church of Christ Sharing Biblical knowledge, Spiritual A Publication by and for the Members 4626 NW 8th Ave, Gainesville, FL 32605 Insights, Life and God’s Love Volume 9, Number 1 universitycitychurchofchrist.org KETURAH AND HER BAND OF 14 MEN Abraham had many mothers for his sons (and daughters?). Women were truly considered “chattel” or belongings. Their lives were full of childbirth and hard work. Early translations do not use the word “pain” but “hard work and many pregnancies”. So that is understood as a consequence! And God made women to bare this burden. Keturah enters the picture at this point. She bore six sons, Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. Later Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan, who had three sons, Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim. Then Midian had five more sons: Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abidda, and Eldaah. (I spelled out all these Jewish names so you could appreciate them!) Keturah may have been or NOT wealthy or beautiful as was Sarah, but as his wife (concubine?) she gave Abraham fourteen sons and grandchildren! Money in the bank, so to speak! Today we like to feel these “sons” were God's gifts to Abraham and the nation of Israel. All seem precious to the Clan. While Abraham still lived he gave great gifts to “these also” sons. Abraham sent them far away from HIS special Isaac. Probably so there would be less jealousy! As the Bible says God gave the rest of the herds, his lands and his many women and children to Isaac, who began his hard core of devoted and prolific descendants.

Genesis 23:1a. There a time to laugh; but there is also a time to weep. For Avraham Avinu, the former has been replaced by the latter. Sarah, the love of Avraham’s life, who taught us to laugh, is no more. Beautiful Sarah – the cherished confidante and companion who has supported Avraham through every transition and trial of his radical Covenant life - has slipped out of sight, behind a great veil. The eyes of his eishet chayil – i.e. woman of virtue, valor, and strength - will never again sparkle as he covers her with his tallit and sings his Erev Shabbat blessings. Avraham has heard his ishah’s sweet laughter for the last time. His very special ezer kenegdo’s days on earth are done. Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha-olam, dayan ha-emet – Blessed are you, O Holy One our God, Hidden/Eternal King, Whose decrees are all consistent with and faithful to His Plan.

Stanley Benfell, Chair George Handley Susan Howe Department of Comparative Studies Brigham Young University December 2010 Copyright © 2010 Robbie Taggart All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Marilynne Robinson‟s Gilead as Modern Midrash Robbie Taggart Department of Comparative Studies Master of Arts It is the intent of this project to show that Marilynne Robinson‟s novel Gilead might be profitably read within the context of the rabbinical exegetical tradition of midrash. It examines Gilead as a midrashic retelling of the Abraham story in the Bible, and shows how reading it in this light illuminates some of the key theological and social concerns at play in the novel. Midrash offers a unique model for reading Gilead because it combines elements of intertextuality, narrative theology and formal exegesis.
