UGH I forgot about the daughter!!!! Otherwise I got them all right! They should have mentioned her more in scripture!!! LOL!

I missed 2. I didn't realize that Hagar was considered a wife of Abraham, I thought she was "just" the mother of Ishmael as well as Sara's maidservant. I missed the Mount where Issac was going to be offered up as a sacrifice. Not too shabby I guess!
