The Lord said to Abram Go out from your relatives and your fathers house, to the land I will show you. 2- I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you and I will make your name great. And you will be a blessing. 4- So Abram went and got Lot, his nephew, and he was 75 years old when he left Haron.

 "Abram's Covenant- Genesis Ch. 15 verse 1- The Lord came to Abram in a vision, and said Do not be afraid, I am your shield I will make your reward great. 4- Now the word of the Lord came to him, "This will not be your heir, instead one who comes from your own body will be. 5- Look at the sky, and count the stars your offspring will be numerous 6-Abram credited to the Lord. 13- Then, the Lord said to Abram your offspring will be resident aliens for 400 years in a land that doesn't belong to them and be enslaved and opposed.  14- However I will judge the nation and afterward they will go with their stuff 15- But you will go to your father's house in peace and be buried at a good old age. 16- In the 4th generation they will return for the inequity of The Amorites hasn't reached its full measure.  Sarai took Hagar to Abram and she slept with him and she became pregnant and gave birth to Ishamel. (Gen. Ch 16 verse 1.) "Covenant Circumcision" Genesis Ch. 17 verse 1-  The Lord appeared to Abram when he was 99 years old  2- I will set up my covenant between you and me, and I will multiply you greatly. 4- You will become the father of many nations. 5- Your name will no longer be Abram your name will be Abraham 10- This is my covenant with me  and you and your offspring.  Which you are to  keep Every male must be circumcised  12- Every male 8 days old every male of your household or purchased or any foreigner and not your offspring. 15- Sarai will be called Sarah 16- I will bless her and she will produce nations. 17- How can a 100 year old man be a father? 19- No, your wife, Sarah will bear a son and you will name him Issac. 20- As far as Ishamel  I will bless him and he will be fruitful and he will be the father of 12 tribal nations 21- But my covenant will be with Issac to whom Sarah will bear this time next year.  Genesis Ch. 21 verse 1- Sarah became pregnant with Issac. 5- Abraham was 100 years old when Issac was born. 

"Sarah's Death"

Genesis Ch. 23 verse 1 

Now, Sarah lived 127 years 2- Sarah died in Habron in the land of Canaan. Abraham wept for her. 

"Abraham's death"

Genesis Ch. 21 verse 7 

This is the length of Abraham's life 175 years  8- He breathed his last breath and died at a good old age. 9- His sons Issac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelh in the field of Ephron. Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah. 

"Abram's call Commentary"

Genesis Ch. 12 verse 1 

"Abram is to go included is the 1-Country 2-homeland and 3- Father's house God's last instructions contain a triple threat, Abram should 1-take your son 2-take your only son Issac and 3-Abram is to go the land which Yahweh will show him." (p. 144 Steinmann)

"Abraham's Covenant Commentary"

Genesis Ch. 15 verses 2-3 

I will make you a great nation, "This will revolve around Abram having a heir to produce this nation."

2- I will bless you express thanks 

3- I will make your name great

4- Be a blessing 

5- I will bless those that bless you

This promise is inherited by the heirs of Abram the Jewish people

6-I will curse those that curse you I will treat those that treat you with contempt The church that persecuted the Jewish people." Guzik 4-6 "One that comes from your own body is a direct physical heir in the next generation to emp. that his son would be the first in line of many heirs. God is forceful in that he told Abram that he will have a son. Gold told him to look up at the stars indicating that the vision came at night." 13- "Since the actual time in Egypt was 430 years, God is speaking in rounded numbers here. The Hebrew word for Generation never carries the meaning of a lifetime. Thus, The 4th Gen. is counted from Moses parents, then Moses, then The gen. of Moses sons Gerhom and Elizer."

16- The inequity of the Amorities God will keep his promise to serve justice.

"Covenant Circumcision Commentary"

Genesis Ch. 17 verse 1 

Abram is 99 years old which means 13 years have passed since Ishmael's birth. God appeared to him and said he was the almighty. 

3- Abram lying flat was a sign of respect. 5- God changed Abram's name to Abraham signifying God's promise to him. (P. 182 Steinmann)

 15-Sarai's name is changed to Sarah God will bless her.

17-18 Abraham wondered how he would be a father at 100.

19- God's reply is insistent to the point of naming the child Issac.

"Ishmael's birth Commentary"

Genesis Ch. 21 verse 5

1 "Abraham kept God's instructions First, he named is son Issac 2- He circumcised him at 8 days old Finally, He became a dad at 100." (p. 209 Steinmann)

"Sarah's death Commentary"

Genesis Ch. 23 verse 1 

"The mention of Sarah's lifespan of 127 years is unique to females other than Rebecca and Leah no other females are noted." "By this time Abraham came back to Heron." 2- Abraham's weeping was a customary ritual for grieving over a loved one." Abraham's mourning was done at the city gate." (p. 266 Steinmann)

"Abraham's death Commentary"

Genesis Ch. 25 verses 7-8 

"The notice of Abraham's lifespan was the longest in Genesis, understanding the importance of him as a founding patriarch." His death is peppered with stereotypes such as, he breathed his last breath. He was with his sons when he died."

Colleen Coble Interview

 Megan Jones  February 13th, 2023  Colleen Coble Interview  1.  Why did you want to write suspense? "I appreciate it when all the secrets of the past come back to haunt characters. I love the puzzle of a murder mystery and the trill of a heroine in danger. Annie is more than capable of becoming the ultimate overcoming heroine." 2. What inspired to want to write? "My writing process always starts with setting- weird I know. But I've found researching the setting springboards me to plot points and character details. I knew I wanted to set the series in Michigan's Upper Peninsula My readers are passionate about the Rock Harbor series so I wanted to have,  Annie  a part of that community. And I always like my main character to have an unusual profession. In researching I ran across law enforcement rangers or LEOs as they are called. The profession resonated with me because I could have a lot of wilderness scenes and interesting  situations." 3. A lot of your cha
