Context: Ishmael's age and family dynamics

Dr. Carli Anderson continues to examine Genesis 18-23 through Hebrew textual analysis, reframing Sarah, Hagar, and Abraham as parallel figures of faith whose choices, trials, and covenant roles reveal deeper layers of wisdom, agency, and trust in God’s promises.
