Isaac loved Esau (25:28).

Ishmael settled over against all his kinsmen, and Ishmael’s sons were twelve princes (25:18,16).

Ishmael and Isaac hung out together at their dad’s funeral, and their dad died at the age of 175 (25:9,7).

Abraham was married to Sarah, Hagar, and KETURAH! Abraham’s kids WITH KETURAH were named: Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. And Abraham’s grandsons through Jokshan were named Sheba and Dedan, and his grandsons through Midian were named Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. And Abraham’s great grandsons through Dedan were named Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim (25:1-4).

Isaac liked to meditate in a field in the evening time (24:63).

Abraham (a sojourner and foreigner) was considered a prince of God in the eyes of the Hittites (23:6).

When Sarah saw Ishmael mocking Isaac, she insisted that Abraham expel Hagar and Ishmael, saying “Cast out this slave woman with her son!” And Abraham didn’t want to expel his wife (Hagar), and/or banish his firstborn son Ishmael! This request from Sarah was very displeasing to Abraham! (21:9-11).

AND HERE’S THE CRAZIEST ONE… in Genesis chapter 20 Abraham and Sarah LIE. Sarah pretends that she is NOT Abraham’s wife. Sarah goes around telling people, “I’m so pretty and voluptuous! And I’m single and ready to mingle! And that guy Abraham is just my brother.” So a fella named Abimelech takes Sarah as his mistress. AND THEN, God visits Abimelech in a dream and says, “You’re a dead man!” And Abimelech says, “What!? Why!!!???” And God says, “Because Sarah is another man’s wife! You are being very very bad! You’re being sexually immoral!” And Abimelech says, “I didn’t know that! I’m innocent! Abraham told me that she was his sister! And she herself said the same thing!!! In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have taken her as my mistress! AND, no copulation has occurred as of yet!” And God says, “Yes yes, I KNOW! Because I’m the one who kept you from copulating! …NOW THEN – return Sarah to Abraham, and ask Abraham (the liar, the guilty party …but also a prophet) to pray for you so that I don’t destroy you!” So Abimelech goes to Abraham and says, “What the heck man!? You have done to me things that ought not to be done!” And Abraham says, “Listen man …you gotta see it from my perspective. I was scared. I thought you guys would see Sarah and want to copulate with her, and you’d be mad at me for being her copulation companion, so I had to lie! I had to! Besides, technically (according to the letter of the law) she IS my sister …she’s my half sister – she’s the daughter of my father, though not the daughter of my mother.” …THEN, Abimelech gave Abraham A TON of RESOURCES, and lavished massive amounts of wealth upon Abraham (the deceiver and self-justifying excuse maker).
