Where in the Old Testament is the account of Abraham's two sons?
The account of Abraham's two sons, one by a bondmaid and the other by a free woman, is found in the Old Testament book of Genesis, in the passage beginning at verse 16, within a chapter or two of the Abrahamic Covenant.
Les explains that the account of Abraham's two sons—one by a bondmaid and one by a free woman—is found in the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Genesis, beginning at verse 16. He notes this passage is within a chapter or two of the Abrahamic Covenant, though chronologically years had passed. Abram had been waiting 36 years for the promise of Genesis 12 to be fulfilled, that he would have a son and from that son a special race or nation would come. Les observes that 36 years is a long time, and Sarai showed no signs of being able to have a child.
