00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:29.960
And<00:20:25.420><c> we</c><00:20:25.579><c> go</c><00:20:25.839><c> right</c><00:20:26.220><c> to</c><00:20:28.119><c> Abraham</c><00:20:28.619><c> and</c><00:20:28.920><c> Sarah.</c>

00:20:30.740 --> 00:20:34.940
And<00:20:30.900><c> we've</c><00:20:31.160><c> already</c><00:20:31.559><c> said</c><00:20:32.079><c> that</c><00:20:32.559><c> they</c><00:20:32.779><c> did</c><00:20:33.059><c> never</c><00:20:33.299><c> have</c><00:20:33.599><c> a</c><00:20:33.799><c> firstborn,</c><00:20:34.819><c> and</c>

00:20:34.940 --> 00:20:36.029
they<00:20:35.140><c> didn't.</c>

00:20:38.630 --> 00:20:45.650
Because<00:20:39.829><c> Abram</c><00:20:41.029><c> unwisely,</c><00:20:42.849><c> at</c><00:20:43.369><c> his</c><00:20:43.690><c> wife's</c><00:20:44.529><c> request,</c>

and<00:20:52.190><c> Ishmael</c><00:20:52.630><c> was</c><00:20:52.869><c> born.</c>

00:20:55.210 --> 00:21:00.829
So<00:20:55.789><c> Abram</c><00:20:56.569><c> had</c><00:20:56.789><c> a</c><00:20:56.970><c> firstborn,</c><00:20:58.690><c> but</c><00:20:59.250><c> Sarah</c><00:20:59.630><c> didn't.</c>

00:21:00.829 --> 00:21:07.190
Or<00:21:01.369><c> yes,</c><00:21:02.490><c> she</c><00:21:02.890><c> opened</c><00:21:03.289><c> her</c><00:21:03.529><c> womb</c><00:21:03.670><c> the</c><00:21:03.849><c> first</c><00:21:04.210><c> time</c><00:21:04.990><c> in</c><00:21:05.789><c> the</c><00:21:05.869><c> birth</c><00:21:06.130><c> of</c><00:21:06.289><c> Isaac,</c>

00:26:57.619 --> 00:26:59.519
Yes,<00:26:58.140><c> I</c><00:26:58.380><c> want</c><00:26:58.619><c> to</c><00:26:58.759><c> redeem</c><00:26:59.039><c> the</c><00:26:59.259><c> land.</c>

00:44:20.659 --> 00:44:22.579
Oh<00:44:20.880><c> yes,</c><00:44:21.019><c> God</c><00:44:21.239><c> wanted</c><00:44:21.519><c> him</c><00:44:21.699><c> to</c><00:44:21.880><c> remain</c><00:44:22.199><c> sinless.</c>

00:44:23.059 --> 00:44:25.380

everlasting<00:44:25.920><c> life.</c>

00:44:26.380 --> 00:44:28.159
