"Your name will no longer be Abram, but Abraham." (Genesis 17.5)
"God said to Abraham, 'You must no longer call your wife Sarai, from now on her name is Sarah." (Genesis 17.15)
Although Hagar was associated with Abram and Sarai, she was, in fact, a woman -- Sarai's servant.
she was the mother of all human beings. Adam and Eve had been taken into temptation by the evil serpent and ate the sacred fruit from the tree of life. The serpent would be punished by God and was forced to crawl on his belly for eternity. God would punish women of all kind by forcing them to endure great pain while bearing children. God would punish man for Adam's bad deed and man would be forced to work hard to support their families. As women would be the bearer of children, Adam would name her:
"Adam named his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all human beings. And the Lord God made clothes out of animal skins for Adam and his wife, and he clothed them." (Genesis 3.20-21)
1/10. After being blessed by Melchizedek for being victorious in his defeat of Chedorlaomer, Abram gave one tenth of all the loot he recovered on his quest.
In response, Melchizedek replied: "Keep the loot, but give me back all my people" (Genesis 14.21)
As Abraham had taken an oath in front of God, he could not accept the loot or any riches of another man. Abraham did not accept any of the riches back from the king.
in a cave with his fathers. "...Now that I am going to join my people in death, bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite..." (Genesis 49.29)

Following his instructions to be buried in the cave at Ephron, Jacob lay on his bed with his feet up and did not suffer in taking his last breath.

Joseph. This excerpt was taken from Genesis 44.17. Judah and his brothers had returned to Joseph's house after Benjamin had stolen the silver cup.

Joseph kept to his word and only enslaved Benjamin, who was caught with the cup.

"After Terah was 70 years old, he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran." (Genesis 11.26)
Noah. The Great Flood has been considered by some to be one of the greatest disasters in the history of planet earth. Noah's success in rescuing the many animals of the earth and housing them on the ark was considered by God to be the covenant between God, Noah, and the earth's living creatures. Following this great triumph by Noah, he had three children named Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and he planted the first vineyard as well. Noah, however, became subject to the temptation of wine and drunkeness:
"Noah, who was a farmer, was the first man to plant a vineyard. After he drank some of the wine, he became drunk, took off his clothes, and lay naked in his tent." (Genesis 9.20-21)
Pishon. Following the seven days of creation, God formed man using the dust of the ground and the breath of life. God also created the Garden of Eden and the tree of life. In order for man and garden to survive, however, God determined that four headwaters were necessary. One of these headwaters was filled with mineral wealth:
"The first river is the Pishon; it flows round the country of Havilah. (Pure gold is found there and also rare perfume and precious stones.)" (Genesis 2.11-12)
Goshen. Joseph gave them that land for grazing their sheep. They lived there, for shepherds were loathsome to the Egyptians. You can find this information in Genesis 46:34-47:6.
Simeon. During the famine, Joseph's brothers went to Egypt to buy food. Joseph knew his brothers but he did not reveal himself. He told them that he thought they were spies, and that to prove that they were not spies, they needed to bring their youngest brother, Benjamin, with them next time they came. He also took Simeon hostage until they returned. You will find this story in Genesis 42:1-28.

600. Noah did not die until he was 950 years old, 350 years after the flood. You can find this information in Genesis 7:11 and Genesis 9:29.
Enoch. Cain's son Enoch was born after he had murdered Abel. Cain built a city and named it Enoch after his son. You can find this information in Genesis 4:17.

the serpent. After they had eaten the fruit, both Adam and Eve hid in the garden from God. When God questioned them, Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed the serpent.
