>> These are very wicked people.
And contentious!
“I against my brother,
my brothers and I against my cousins,
then my cousins and I against strangers.”
[Claimed to be a Bedouin proverb]
“The angel of the LORD proceeded: “Behold, you [Sarai] have conceived and will bear a son. And you shall name him Ishmael, for the LORD has heard your cry of affliction. He will be a wild donkey of a man, and his hand will be against everyone, and everyone’s hand against him; he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.” [Genesis 16:11-12]
“Ishmael’s descendants settled from Havilah to Shur, which is near the border of Egypt as you go toward Asshur. And they lived in hostility toward all their brothers.” [Genesis 25:18]
Fits rather well doesn’t it.
People can say what they want, but the Bible is an amazing
work.
