In the Beginning: The Bible Stories

Isaac and Ishmael (1x7)

Air date: Apr 09, 1997

God tells Abraham "Sarah's son Isaac will carry on your family line." God also says that Ishmael, who was born between Abraham and another woman, Hagaru, would be the father of a nation because he is also Abraham's son. This myth became a strong motivation behind the building of Israel, the Jewish homeland.
