| | 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. | | | 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 begins by telling the man that his life, which began in the wild, was spent mostly in a zoo and a menagerie, and since had been spent in the gazebo of the man that extricated him from physical captivity. |

| | 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 |
| | 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. | | | 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. |

| | 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. |

| | The disappearance of Ishmael at the end of book is the only story-like element in _Ishmael_, and it is really an attempt by Quinn to set the reader free - to encourage him/her to think about civilization for himself rather than be told about it by a telepathic gorilla. | | | Ishmael, the gorilla, takes the narrator onto a journey of humanity while challenging the him to see humanity, and its role on this planet, in a way never before told. | | | I joined an Ishmael email list for some time and discovered most of the people on there saw Ishmael as some New Age guru telling us to eat a vegetarian diet and live simply. |

| | Ishmael relates the possibility that Queequeg has committed suicide to his religious beliefs, and cites experience to show that those religions with the most harsh practices are those whose followers become sickly in mind and in temperament. | | | Ishmael finally says that Queequeg belongs to the same ancient catholic church as all do, the congregation of the world. | | | Ishmael wonders what the meaning could be, for the pulpit is the earth's foremost part; all the rest comes from in its rear, and the pulpit leads the world. |

Or, more daringly, be like Ahab, whose ambition is his curse, but whose curse propels and writes the book itself. | | | Ishmael touts whaling as the scout of Western civilization. |

| | Next, Ishmael gives an answer to his first question, asserting that worship is "to do the will of God," and he declares that the will of God is to "do to my fellow man what I would have my fellow man to do to me" (57). | | | Ishmael reaons, "Queequeg is my fellow man," then states that what he would have Queequeg do for him is to unite with him in his particular form of worship (57). | | | Ishmael's joining Queequeg in worship, therefore, not only shows the intended universality of his religion, but the basic commitment to the self, to obeying the self rather than disobeying, and to tolerance and humanity, as Ishmael is one who seeks to please rather than to appall. |

| | Like all great teachers, Ishmael refuses to make the lesson easy: he demands that the final illumination come from within ourselves. | | | Ishmael is a creature of immense wisdom and he has a story to tell, one that no human being has ever heard before. | | | It begins with a simple but powerful question: Is it man's destiny to rule the world? |

| | As Ishmael's dark half, Ahab is that element of the narrator's psyche most in need of purgation, and it is his self-destructive rage that frees Ishmael from the pathos that haunt him. | | | Ishmael also mirrors Brahma in his possession, for a moment at least, of four heads: "Here, now, are two great whales, laying their heads together; let us join them, and lay together our own," he declares, calling the reader to bear witness to a pair of whales lashed to the Pequod (Melville, Moby Dick 427). | | | Ishmael's narrative, then, may be seen as an attempt at defining the incomprehensible in comprehensible terms, and Melville's definition of the novel as a medium may be viewed similarly. |
