A proposito di questo titolo
Narrows God’s covenant promises with sharp clarity. After Abraham pleads for Ishmael, God assures him that Ishmael will indeed be blessed and become a great nation, but the covenant itself will rest uniquely with Isaac—the son Sarah will bear within the year. God sets this timeline firmly, leaving no room for doubt. In response, Abraham obeys immediately: at ninety-nine years old, he circumcises himself along with Ishmael, who is thirteen, and every male in his household, just as God commanded. In short: these verses highlight both God’s precision and Abraham’s obedience. The covenant isn’t vague or generic—it’s tied specifically to Isaac, not Ishmael, and bound to God’s appointed time. Abraham models faith by acting without delay, turning divine promise into tangible obedience. It’s the moment covenant promise, and covenant sign unite, faithfully carried out in the real world.
