so just write Abraham out of the story. Good thinking.

Just insist on the correct lineage; Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when one wants to designate a Jew

The Jews use all sorts of terms for themselves to describe a certain aspect of their lives. It's interchangeable from my understanding. Jacob was far from perfect, he was cunning and a trickster, like all of us, and when a Jew wants to associate himself with that, he might refer to himself as a Child of Jacob or some such. Jesus is called The Son of Adam, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah- He is a Child of Abraham, of John, of David, of God-- it all depends on the context.

But here is the important thing- you and I both respect the Bible and that's great. From your handle I assume you are a Vet, so thank you, buddy. Have a good one.

Actually, if we’re going to get all technical, after Sarah died Abraham had six more sons with Keturah. And quite probably some daughters.
