Isaac
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 wealthy Abraham and Lot began living in separate areas in Canaan, Abraham's fortune also included tents, silver and gold. Ishmael was born to 86-year-old 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. Isaac was born to 100-year-old Abraham and 90-year-old Sarah. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that Ishmael was born according to flesh and Isaac was born through the promise. Years after Isaac was born, Abraham was able to show the depth of his faith in the Lord God. Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah were born to Abraham and Keturah, Abraham's 2nd wife. Before 175-year-old Abraham died, his sons received gifts from Abraham and were sent eastward, far away from Isaac, Abraham's primary heir. When Isaac was 40 years old, he was married to Rebekah, Abraham and Sarah's grandniece. Fraternal twin sons Esau (Edom) and Jacob (Israel) were born to 60-year-old Isaac and Rebekah. In Padan Aram, Haran, Jacob was married to Leah and Rachel, the daughters of Rebekah's brother Laban the Syrian (Aramean). Judah was the 4th son born to Jacob and Leah. Joseph was the 1st son born to Jacob and Rachel. Approximately 1,900 years after Benjamin was born near Bethlehem to Jacob and Rachel, and Rachel died, 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 in Bethlehem 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
