Episode 16
Abram and Sarai try to bring YHWH's promised child to fruition through the use of Sarai's servant Hagar. This was completely normal and allowable in the ancient world, but it did not fulfill YHWH's desire. Instead of condemning Abram or casting out Ishmael, the Angel of the Lord promises that God would bless Ishmael. Why and how is what we'll explore in this episode.
