When Abraham and Sarai (Sarah) were very old, they were still childless. According to the custom of the time, Sarai (Sarah) gave her maid Hagar to Abraham to bear him a child. Hagar bore Abraham a son, Ishmael, who was expelled into the desert with his mother Hagar when Sarai (Sarah) bore her own son. When Abraham was 99 years old, God promised him that he would have a son within one year and his descendents would be as many as the star in the sky. The Lord said to Abraham: ―this is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your descendents after you: every male among you shall be circumcised when he is 8 days old.‖ Later as God had promised them, Abraham and Sarai (Sarah) had a son, Isaac. The Lord later had Abraham his greatest test of faith. He commanded Abraham to offer the life of his son Isaac as a sacrifice. Abraham took his son to the top of the mountain, laid him on the altar, and picked the knife to kill him. At the last minute, however, the Lord sent an angel to stop the killing and provided a ram for the sacrifice. Sarai (Sarah) died at 127 years old, and Abraham 175 years old. His sons Ishmael and Isaac buried him and Sarai (Sarah) together. Writing Writing Before You Wri
