Document Summary
God takes abel"s animal offering, not cain"s offering. Agricultural/ city god found with more open land. City started from cain, who killed his brother. It is possible to be righteous & not jewish. Something is right because god says it is right. Something is wrong because god says it is wrong: ex. Angel tells sarah she will have a child & sarah laughs: servant hagar (egyptian slave) has ishmael with abraham, she has a baby isaac. Ishmael will inherit from abraham because he is 1st born: sarah exiles ishmael & hagar to arabia. Ishmael is father of 12 tribes of arabia to islam & muhammed. Binding of isaac for sacrifice: a ram is then provided and abraham does not sacrifice isaac. Egypt is the power center of the world. 10. you shall not covet: ask god for destruction of enemies/ salvation, try to establish your own territory/ withdrawal, fly under radar/ hide.
