For this one chapter, following Isaac's toledoth, we focus in on the life of the promised son and his relationships with YHWH and the Philistines. Josh, Brendan, and Tori reflect on the similarities to, and deviations from, what his father's life looked like and discuss new terms that YHWH uses to describe his terms for existing in covenant with Him.

We've come to another chapter full of family lines and names. Often these sections can be tough to read through, especially since most of these characters never come up again. Josh, Tori, and Brendan dig through the names of Abraham's other sons to see if there's anything that can be learned about who they were and what their stories might have been like while discussing Abraham's complicated legacy.
