| | Ishmael (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Ishmael points out that the story was written by the Semites, and later adapted to work within Hebrew and Christian belief structures. | | | And as a result the gods banished these people from the Garden and they were brought from a life of bounty in the hands of the gods to one of being the accursed tillers of the soil. | | | As they were driven further into the Arabian peninsula, the Semites became isolated from other herding cultures and, according to Ishmael, illustrated their plight through oral history, which was later adopted into the Hebrew book of Genesis. |

| | Ishmael |
| | Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama “of the seed royal” (2Ki_25:25) was among their number - all of which must have been rather gratifying to the new governor. | | | Like Ishmael, they were born of Hagar, the handmaid or slave woman; like him, they were Abraham's sons only “after the flesh,” and their ultimate fate is foreshadowed in the casting out of Hagar and her son. | | | Thus young Ishmael was made a party to the covenant into which God had entered with the lad's father. |

| | Ishmael's descendants are the Arabic peoples according to both Jewish and Arab tradition. | | | Son of Hagar and Abraham, Ishmael's name means "God will hear" (Genesis 16:11). | | | The two arrive in Beersheva, and are faint with thirst when God promises that Ishmael will be made a great nation and shows them a nearby water source (Genesis 21:12-20) Ishmael had 12 sons with an Egyptian wife. |

| | Scripture From Scratch ©2001-Isaac and Ishmael: Brothers in Conflict by Leslie Hoppe, O.F.M. |
| | The focus on Ishmael's destiny to be the ancestor of a great people shows that one dimension of the story was ethnographic, i.e., it was designed to explain both the similarities and dissimilarities of two peoples who lived in proximity to one another. | | | Ishmael lived to the age of 127 (Gn 25:9, 17), another sign of God's approval. | | | In Galatians 4:29 Paul alludes to Genesis 21:9 when he remarks that "he who was born according to the flesh (Ishmael) persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit (Isaac)...." The Hebrew verb in Genesis 21:9 that Paul construes to mean "persecuted" does have both a positive and negative connotation. |

| | IS MOHAMMED A DESCENDENT OF ISHMAEL |
| | Because Ishmael received no spiritual call from God, his only historical descendants were the twelve tribes which descended from his sons. | | | Islam also claims that Abraham and Ishmael founded the city of Mecca, but Mecca was not in existence prior to the 4th century A.D. There’s no historical document written during the 2,000 years between Mohammed’s 21st ancestor and the time of Ishmael, which claims the 21st ancestor of Mohammed was a descendent of Ishmael. | | | It is clear that the claim of Islam about Mohammed coming from Ishmael progeny is farther from the truth than if I claimed that I came from the line of Julius Cesar who lived 2,000 years before my time. |

| | Ishmael |
| | To understand why Abraham was "fictiously" being made the father of Ishmael and the Arabs, we must identify and understand the political situation which is in existence at the time Genesis was being composed. | | | It is my understanding that because Genesis' narrator had portrayed circumcision as a "unique mark" of God's covenant with Abraham and his descendants (Ge 17:11), that he accordingly made Arabic nations whom he believed to practice the same rite, Abraham's descendants. | | | If it is physically impossible for Abraham to be the father of Ishmael and the Arabs, then why this portrayal on the narrator's part ? The answer partially lies in dating the book of Genesis. |
