A:Although no such symbolism was intended by the biblical authors, I am sure we can find a symbolic relationship between Cain and Abel on the one hand, and Isaac and Ishmail on the other. Simply decide what significance you want to find, then look for similarities that suit your needs. This includes that they are brothers, one brother in each case is a biblical forefather of the Israelites and so on.
