Genesis 16-21

So still haven't given Abram kids, dude is nearly 100 and God just keeps being like "Patience young padawan." His wife talks him into knocking up the servant but then she treats the servant badly after seeing how she reacted to realizing she was pregnant. The servant runs off but some angels tell her to go back, so she does.

God tells him that his son and basically everyone else needs to be circumcised from day 8. So there is a circumcision party and the entire city showed up... THE SAME DAY. He must have some clout to invite all the males over one day. "Hey Bob, we're having a circumcision party this afternoon, hope to see you there."

God plans on destroying some city's but Abraham talks him into only doing it if there was less than 10 good people in the city. Apparently there wasn't because some angels show up and nearly get gang raped so they blind a bunch of people and tell Lor (Who tried to protect the angels by whoring his daughters) to take his loved ones far away and don't look back. His daughters boyfriends don't believe Lor and so Lor, his wife, and daughters leave. But alas his wife looks back and is smited. His daughters are worried about the family dieing off and so they get their dad black out drunk on wine and get themselves knocked up. (I didn't think alcohol worked that way, but whatev)

Abraham is back to his old "My wife is my sister" self and rips off another leader.

Abraham finally has a son with his wife and she has the servant thrown out.

Lastly there are two stories about a well, but I think they are talking about the same well. Yet I am not sure because I am tired and can't read chapter 21 again.
