& I appreciate how the artist captured Hagar's expression in #26.

Speaking of Ish:

Gen 16:12
And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

I've never fully understood the whys & wherefores of that whole dynamic (I'm assuming it's referring to Semitic ppls who are not Jews? IDK)

#18 exemplifies Dan's Law of Biblical Tent Paintings:
Thou shalt not portray a Tent Pole.

Also from wkpd:

The affluent middle class that are associated with Biedermeier include affection, sensibility, moderation, and modesty.
Biedermeier Gemütlichkeit means, that one reaches a state of cosiness, as well as friendliness. Biedermeier style displays the conflict between ideals and reality, as human life was grey and gloomy.

Wow, it sounds like liberals write this stuff!

(and mebbe I'm just reading too much into it!)

Being wild—abrasive, threatening, insular—ensures survival as a clan.They aren’t “chosen” as are the descendants of Abraham’s other son, but God is blessing them anyway.

Sarah and that ‘Apple in Eden’ seem to have be reading the same script.
Abrahm,perhaps, may have considered
His FRIEND first and foremost.

As Paul instructed the Corinthians, “no temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind.”

It does indeed sound like ‘enemies of God’ wrote this, as their understanding is corrupt.

I agree
#23 is very well done and it clearly illustrates the event

I am especially fond of #13. For artistic merit. The angels probably did not look like that...But the composition and technique are very pleasing to the eye.

#23 and 13 are similar enough in style, that they could pass for work by the same artist. Maybe they went to the same school.

Her grandson Jacob became quite a schemer, encouraged by his mother.

It’s a wonder God chose any of us...We are all so very defective.
