Heres a perfect example how the bible lied regarding Ishmael and Isaac Pbut,
Let's Read how The bible writers left traces of tampering.
Firstly I just wanna add this verse to prove Isaac Pbuh was NOT THE ONLY SON
Abraham was eighty six years old when Ishmael was born (Genesis
16:16). When Abraham reached ninety-nine years of age, Ishmael was thirteen years old and remained the only son of Abraham. Now, God promises to establish his covenant with all of Abraham's "seed" without exception:
"And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.."
(Genesis 17:7-8)
Was he Abrahams only son?? Let's carry on
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Abraham reached one hundred years of age, God blessed him with a second son, Isaac (Genesis 21:5). Isaac was born to him through his first wife, Sarah. The Bible tells us that because of Sarah's jealousy that Ishmael may inherit with her own son Isaac (Genesis
21:10), she had Abraham cast out Hagar and Ishmael and send them to the wilderness of "Paran" (genesis
21:21). We are told that she was particularly angry with what she considered to be a mockery on the part of Ishmael towards her own son Isaac. This incident is alleged to have occurred after Isaac was weaned (remember this) as narrated in Genesis 21:8.
This Old Testament narration can be found to contain obvious modifications from the following analysis: According to the Bible, Abraham was eighty six years old when Ishmael was born (Genesis
16:16). He was one hundred years old when Isaac was born (Genesis 21:5). This makes Ishmael fourteen years older than Isaac. The above expulsion of Ishmael and his mother is alleged to have occurred after Isaac was weaned (Genesis 21:8). Muslims wean their children after two years. Biblical scholars tell us that babies were weaned about the age of three. This makes Ishmael at least seventeen years old at the time of the alleged mockery and expulsion. The profile of Ishmael in Genesis
21:14-19 however, is one of a small baby and not that of a full grown teenager of seventeen years. Let us study it.
1) According to the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible which was compiled from manuscripts more ancient than those of the King James Version of the Bible, the verse of Genesis
21:14 reads "..putting [it] on her shoulder, along with the child." Did Abraham put a seventeen year old boy on Hagar's shoulder? It would be more logical for him to put Hagar on Ishmael's shoulder if he were, as claimed, seventeen years old at the time. So Ishmael must have been a baby at the time.
2) In Genesis
21:15 we read "and she cast the child under one of the shrubs." Did Hagar "cast" a seventeen year old teenager under a shrub? This too is consistent with a baby and not a full-grown teenager.
3) We read in Genesis
21:16 that Hagar sat far away from Ishmael so as not to see him die before her own eyes. Is this the profile of a full-grown teenager who should, more appropriately be worried about his mother or of a helpless baby?
4) In Genesis
21:17 we read the angel's command to Hagar: "Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand;" Who would be more capable of lifting the other up, Hagar or her seventeen year old teenage son? This too is the profile of a little baby.
5) Throughout this story we are drawn a picture of Hagar doing this, and Hagar doing that, and Hagar worrying, and Hagar weeping, and so on while Ishmael sits where he was "cast," under the shrub. Would a full grown teenager of seventeen sit under a shrub and wait for his mother and himself to die while his mother looked for water for him, or would he have her sit in the shade while he went in search of water?
6) Even the angel did not address both of them but only Hagar, the only one who would understand. Once again the profile of a baby and not a seventeen year old teenager.
7) Ishmael is always referred to as "the child" and "the lad" in the story. Do people usually refer to seventeen year old teenagers as "child" and "lad"?
8) In Genesis
21:20 we read that after this incident, "God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer." Is this a profile of a fully developed teenager or a child who is growing up, learning, and developing?
The above analysis clearly exhibits evidence of human modification to the text of this story. The claim that Ishmael mocked Isaac and that this had anything to do with Hagar's journey is an obvious fabrication since Isaac was not even born yet when this story occurred (Ishmael was still a baby). The reason for Hagar's journey was not Sarah's jealousy, Ishmael's mockery, or the racial superiority of Sarah. It was only the command of God, pure and simple. In an effort to keep all prophets of God Israelites, even God himself is alleged to have submitted to, and even blessed the alleged jealous whims of Sarah. Further, if such elaborate additions to the story could be inserted into the text, then how much simpler to change the original journey to Paran to take a detour into Beer Sheba.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In short when Ishmael was born Abraham was 86. And when Isaac was born he Ishmael was 14 making Abraham 100.
When Isaac Was 3 years of age Ishmael and his mother was sent to paran, making Ishamel 17 years old.
Please explain how can a 17 year old be put on the back of his mother?? Genesis
21:14
How can a 17 year old be cast under the shrubs watching his mother run for water?? Genesis
21:15
She sat far away from the baby?? A 17 year old?? Genesis
21:16
The Angel tells her to lift up the lad the 17 year old?? Genesis
21:17
God was with the lad as he was growing up?? Genesis
21:20
-----------------
The earliest manuscripts for the Tanack are the DSS, dating back roughly 200bc. Although we have no complete full manuscripts for the DSS, what we have are fragments of the scrolls. What’s fascinating is the most disputed topic on who was chosen to be sacrificed Ismael or Isaac (pbut) is not found as part of the fragments from DSS. What we have starts from “Genesis 22:13-15”, when you read Genesis 22 you’ll find the name of the son in verse 2,3,6,7 and 9, whereas the DSS fragment starts from verses 13-15, so in no way the name of the child is found.
The Masoretic text was compiled during the 10th century contradicting much of earlier manuscripts such as the Septuagint and Samaritan. It’s possible the name was changed from Ismael to Isaac for obvious reason. If there is no early sources to look back into, and all we have are corrupted received text such as the Masoretic, then this dispute certainly cannot go in the favour of Jews or Christians.
Typical example of
corruption
The
book of Genesis proves Isaac was not the chosen son to be sacrificed.
Then
God said, "Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call
him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for
his descendants after him (Genesis 17:19)
Did
you catch the problem?
God
said he will give Sarah a son who will be called Isaac and he (God) will establish
his covenant him and his “DESCENDANTS”. Wait! If Isaac was the chosen sacrificed
son then it will make no sense for God to say before Isaac was born, he (Isaac)
will have “DESCENDENTS”.
Think
about it, if God told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, then he could have easily
challenged God by saying “did you not say your covenant will be everlasting with
Isaac and his “DESCENDANTS”? then
how is your covenant going to continues with Isaac if he is sacrificed? Thus,
we can conclude Isaac was not the chosen son to be sacrificed.
