One kid get’s slighted again.

Gen says, “17:20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.”  But then Gen 17:21 says, “But my covenant will I establish with Isaac,”  This sounds like a reoccurring story here.  First Cain, then Canaan, what is the matter with Ishmael?  You blessed him?  Why isn’t he good enough for circumcision?
