After ten years without children, Sarai arranges for Hagar to bear a son, leading to Ishmael. God then speaks to Abraham, giving new names—Abraham and Sarah—and declaring that Sarah will give birth to Isaac, the child of promise, establishing God’s covenant. The story culminates with Abraham’s obedience during the testing of his faith when God commands the sacrifice of Isaac.","05.

So Abram’s wife, Sarai, said to him,“Since God has not allowed me to have children and now Iam too old to have children, here is my servant, Hagar. Marry her also so she can have a child for me.”  \nSo Abram married Hagar. Hagar had a baby boy, and Abram named him Ishmael. But Sarai became jealous of Hagar. When Ishmael was thirteen years old, God again spoke to Abram.  \n“Your wife, Sarai, will have a son—he will bethe son of promise. Name him Isaac. I will make my covenant with him, and he will become a great nation. I will make Ishmael a great nation, too, but my covenant will be with Isaac.” Then God changed Abram’s name to Abraham, which means “father of many.” God also changed Sarai’s name to Sarah, which means “princess.”  \nThat day Abraham circumcised all the males in his household. About a year later, when Abraham was 100 years old and Sarah was 90, Sarah gave birth to Abraham’s son. They named him Isaac as God had told them to do.  \nWhen Isaac was a young man, God tested Abraham’s faith by saying,“Take Isaac, your only son, and kill him as a sacrifice to me.”Again Abraham obeyed God and prepared to sacrifice his son.","cbCaijVmens78D6u","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijVmens78D6u","pdf",313604,1,16,"English","en",105,"# The Waiting for a Child\n## Ishmael and Hagar\n# God’s Promise for Isaac\n## The Covenant and New Names\n# Isaac’s Birth and Abraham’s Faith Test","[{\"question\":\"Why did Sarai suggest Abraham marry Hagar, and what was the outcome?\",\"answer\":\"Sarai said God had not allowed her to have children and that she was too old, so she offered Hagar as her servant.
