2IP Gen 12:1-7 God repeated the promise to Abraham saying all nations of the earth will be blessed through him and adding that his descendants would possess the land of Cannan.
3IP Gen 16:1-4, 11, 12 Abraham and Sarah felt they were too old to have a child, so he took the maid Hagar, she conceived and bore a son named Ishmael.
4IP Gen 17:19 God said the covenant would not be fulfilled through Ishmael but Sarah would have a son, Isaac and it will be filled through him. Why did God exclude Ishmael and include only Isaac?
5IP Gen
25:21-26
Isaac Married Rebecca (24:67) and gave birth to twins, Esau and Jacob . God's promise was to be fulfilled to Jacob and not Esau. The fact that God excluded Esau and Ishmael and choose Isaac and Jacob, means the requirement for the promise had to be something more than simply flesh and blood descendants of Abraham.
6IP Gen 32:28 After Jacob's conversion experience, God gave him a new name. Israel, a name with spiritual meaning.
