What three other arrangements did Abram make when Sarah remained childless?

When Sarah remained childless, Abram made three key arrangements: first, he took Hagar, Sarah's maidservant, as a concubine to bear a child, resulting in the birth of Ishmael.

Abram (later known as Abraham) and Sarah are biblical figures traditionally dated to around 2000 BCE. This places their lives approximately 4,000 years ago, during the early Bronze Age.

Who are Abrahams and Sarah sons in the bible in Genses?

Abraham actually had two sons, Sarah only had one. Let me explain. God had appeared to Abraham, who was called Abram back then, and told him that he was going to have a baby. Of course, Abram was unsure about this since he and his wife were each about one hundred years old. Sarah, who was called Sarai back then, heard this and she didn't believe it. So, she told Abram to take her slave, Hagar, and go have a baby. Back then, that wasn't considered a problem. So, Hagar and Abram had a baby named Ishmael. Much later on, Abram and Sarai had a baby and they named him Isaac. They were later renamed Abraham and Sarah.
