You performed a miracle, gave Sarah a child. Then she gives another reason why Isaac means ‘he laughs’. Don’t know why she mentions Abraham’s old age and not hers; hers is more important, after all. Then Sarah is jealous of Hagar and Ishmael again. She wants to banish them, and You tell Abraham to do whatever Sarah wants (really? Why? Why did You allow Abraham to give in to Sarah’s jealousy and pettiness?). You save Hagar and Ishmael, show them where water is. But it also doesn’t way what they lived on, and I bet it was a hard, hard life, especially for Hagar. Poor Hagar. It’s not her fault that her mistress was a witch with a capital B. Abraham and Abimelech. They make an oath and then they make a covenant with seven ewes. Abimelech was a Philistine? And Abraham built an altar to You.
