[Fred25]

He shouldn’t have thrown Hagar and Ishmael out into the desert. That is still causing us trouble to this day.

[Phil V.]

He shouldn’t have thrown Hagar and Ishmael out into the desert.

Yah, I suppose you're right. But that Sarah! WOW! She waited 99 years to have a kid. She let Abraham bed that floozie, Hagar. Then BINGO! HER very own child!!! Hagar is OFF THE ISLAND!

We see the same in families today, I hear.

"gee, is this why your muslims scream "this is for Ishmael!" when your muslims rape, murder and mutilate Jewish women and children?"

[Patria One]

What do you want? An heir by your half sister, or an heir by your handmaiden?

And then there are all those other sons by Keturah.

[beGlad]

I believe he shouldn't have "slept" with Hagar thus creating Ishmael. Sending her and the boy away was God's plan. Read Genesis 21:9-13.
