More Plus More Because of the Lord

Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.-Genesis 26:12-14***  Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai) were born to Terah, and Lot was born to Terah's son Haran. After the Lord God appeared to Abraham and told Abraham to depart from his country and kin and come into the land he would be shown, Abraham journeyed away from Ur in southern Mesopotamia with Sarah, Terah and Lot, and they began living in Haran in northern Mesopotamia. Sometime after 205-year-old Terah died in Haran, 75-year-old Abraham journeyed with Sarah, Lot, their servants, and possessions to Canaan. The Lord God promised to give Canaan to Abraham's descendants and Abraham. During a short stay in Egypt, Abraham gained sheep, donkeys, camels, cattle, and servants from Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. When Abraham and Lot began living in separate areas in Canaan, due to their wealth, Abraham's fortune also included tents, silver and gold. When Abraham was 86 years old, Ishmael was born to Abraham and Hagar, Sarah's Egyptian maidservant. When Abraham was 99 years old, the Lord God gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision. Shortly thereafter, the Lord God spoke with Abraham about Sodom, and Abraham spoke of righteous inhabitants to the Lord God. King Abimelech was the Philistine ruler of Gerar. After the Lord God spoke to Abimelech and warned him, Abimelech gave Abraham sheep, cattle and servants. When Abraham was 100 years old, Isaac was born to Abraham and 90-year-old Sarah. Ishmael was born according to flesh and Isaac was born through the the promised. Years after Isaac was born, Abraham was able to show the depth of his faith in the Lord God. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah were born to Abraham and Keturah,  Abraham's 2nd wife. Abraham's sons received gifts from Abraham and were sent eastward, far away from Isaac, Abraham's primary heir. When Isaac was 40 years old, he married Rebekah, Abraham and Sarah's grandniece. When Isaac was 60 years old, fraternal twin sons Esau (Edom) and Jacob (Israel), were born to Isaac and Rebekah. Decades thereafter, Jacob married Rebekah's nieces Leah and Rachel. Over 1,900 years after Judah was born to Jacob and Leah, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-36:43, 1 Chronicles 1:1-2:55, 3:1-24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, Romans 9:1-33, Galatians 4:1-31
