Stories of Abraham

[BlueBird2]

Hello,

has anyone wondered how Hagar was able to carry her teenage boy on her shoulder and  cast him under a bush?

Another burning question is for me, why was Abraham so stingy when he sent Hagar and Ismael into the deadly desert? He was so rich yet he gave them neither a camel nor any gold to ensure their survival or make their start easier.

Terah had plans to bring Abraham to Canaan long before God called him to go there. Perhaps he considered Haran as a part of Canaan or he also had a calling.

And finally: Who was this wise servant who set out to bring back a wife for Isaac? Was it Eliezer of Damascus? Why is the name of this important person missing?

Those times were amazing! Noah and Sem were still alive when Abraham was born (Genesis 9:28 and Genesis 11:10-26).

Did Abraham meet Noah and hear from him the stories of the old world before the flood firsthand? What did Noah teach Abraham?
