ABRAHAM: LESSON 3

1. Why did Sarah ask Abraham to send Hagar and Ishmael away? (After 
you answer this question, read Galatians Chapter 4, verses 23 – 31) 

2. Why did it grieve Abraham to send Ishmael away? (Think of the 
things in your life you reluctantly parted with, even though it was 
for the best) 

3. When Isaac asked Abraham, "…where is the lamb for the burnt 
offering?" what was Abraham's reply? (After you answer this 
question, refer to John 1:29, 36 for further study) 

4. Genesis 22:10 clearly implies that Abraham placed God first in 
all things. Is there a limit to what you are willing to sacrifice 
in the service of God? (This question is presented more for thought 
than discussion. As we internally explore this question, I believe 
we will better understand our present relationship with our Lord.)

5. What is Genesis 22:18 talking about, and how does it apply to 
the Gentiles (You and I)? 

6. Where is Sarah buried? 

7. What is Isaac's wife's name? How was she identified as the 
right person for him to marry? 

8. Who did Abraham marry after the death of Sarah? How many sons 
did they have? 

9. When Abraham died, who buried him? 

10. How many sons did Ishmael have? Name them. 


Bonus question: What does El Elyon mean?
