Genesis: 16
15: And Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ish'mael.
16: Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ish'mael to Abram.
So, Abram was 86 when Ism’mael was born
Genesis: 17
16: I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her; I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall come from her."
17: Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said to himself, "Shall a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?"
a)Abraham was 100 years when he was first told about Isaac. So Ish’mael is 14 (=100-86)
b)How dare could Abraham laugh from and fleer his God’s word? But let’s continue
Genesis:17
21: But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this season next year."
At the time of Issac’s birth “at this season next year” Ish’mael would be 15=(14+1)

Genesis: 21
8: And the child grew, and was weaned; and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
9: But Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, playing with her son Isaac.
10: So she said to Abraham, "Cast out this slave woman with her son; for the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son Isaac."
So, Ish’mael was 15 at Isaac’s birth as mintioned before, and when Isaac was weaned he was at least 16 be cause no one is weaned in less than 1 year and even if it’s less than that your God won’t say “And the child grew”. At that time Ish’mael and Hagar were cast out.

Genesis: 21
14: So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and a skin of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, along with the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
15: When the water in the skin was gone, she cast the child under one of the bushes
So, Ish’mael (the child ???!!!) was on Hagar’s Shoulder, one will say “no, It’s the bread and the skin of water?” this is not correct as this is not a site for bread. Besides your God says “she cast the child under” and this is only done with something high in position before it’s casted under something else
Logically, How would a STRONG MAN at the age of 16 AT LEAST be left?? You know that Alexander the Great Invaded the world when he was about that age. How would your minds accept that???

Genesis: 21
17: And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, and said to her, "What troubles you, Hagar? Fear not; for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.
18: Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him fast with your hand; for I will make him a great nation."
Another strong evidence that he was lift up “Arise, lift up the lad”

Again Here's the question, I think nearlly all of us know that when Hagar and his son Isl'mael were cast out when Ish'mael was still less than 10 years old as in the word (child) seen above. But the question I've posted prooves that he was 16 AT LEAST at that time and he was left up by his mother???
How could such story becomes against the logic?? this means that the bible is truly CORRUPT.
