Maelezo ya Majibu
Abraham laughed when God told him that his wife Sarah would have a child because they were both very old and past child-bearing age. Abraham and Sarah had been trying to have a child for many years, but it seemed impossible due to their advanced age. Therefore, the idea of having a child at such an old age seemed absurd to Abraham, and he laughed out of disbelief. However, God fulfilled His promise, and Sarah eventually gave birth to Isaac.

Why did the accusers of Jesus stay behind while He was led to the Praetorium?
Maelezo ya Majibu
The accusers of Jesus stayed behind while He was led to the Praetorium because they did not want to be defiled. According to Jewish law, entering a Gentile's house or any place where Gentiles were present would make a person ceremonially unclean. The Praetorium was the residence of the Roman governor, a Gentile, and the accusers did not want to become defiled by entering it, especially since they wanted to participate in the Passover celebration, which required them to be ceremonially clean. Therefore, they stayed outside and waited for Jesus to be brought back out to them.

Maelezo ya Majibu
The request by the sons of Zebedee to sit at Jesus' right and left hand in His glory was not granted because it was not within Jesus' power to grant such a request.

Additionally, Jesus explained that whoever wanted to be first must be the servant of all, indicating that positions of honor and authority in His kingdom were not granted based on personal desires or ambitions but on one's willingness to serve others. Therefore, the request was not granted because it was not Jesus' decision to make and because it did not align with the values and principles of His kingdom.

Why did God redeem the Israelitess from the hands of Pharaoh?
Maelezo ya Majibu
God redeemed the Israelites from the hands of Pharaoh for several reasons. Firstly, God remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God had promised them that He would make their descendants into a great nation, and this was the fulfillment of that promise. Secondly, the yoke of the Israelites was heavy. They were being oppressed and enslaved by the Egyptians, and God saw their suffering and wanted to rescue them from their bondage. Thirdly, God wanted to show His power to Pharaoh. Pharaoh had set himself up as a god, and God wanted to demonstrate that He was the true God, the only one who had the power to deliver His people from their oppressors. Finally, God wanted to show that Moses was His chosen leader and that He had given him the power to perform miracles. This would demonstrate to the Israelites that Moses was not just an ordinary man but a chosen instrument of God. In summary, God redeemed the Israelites from the hands of Pharaoh to fulfill His covenant with their ancestors, to relieve their suffering, to demonstrate His power, and to show that Moses was His chosen leader.

''The LORD give you children by this woman for the loan which she lent to the LORD....'' What was this loan?
Maelezo ya Majibu
This loan is mentioned in the Bible in the book of 1 Samuel, chapter 1. It is part of a prayer made by a woman named Hannah, who was barren and had been unable to conceive a child. Hannah made a vow to the Lord that if he were to give her a son, she would dedicate him to serve in the temple. Hannah had lent herself to the Lord, meaning she had devoted herself to serving him. It was customary for people to make offerings and sacrifices to the Lord at the temple, and Hannah had likely made a vow to give something of value to the Lord in exchange for his blessing. This is referred to as a loan in the Bible, as Hannah was essentially borrowing God's favor in exchange for her promise to dedicate her child to his service. In summary, the loan mentioned in this passage refers to the vow made by Hannah to give her child to the Lord's service in exchange for his blessing and the ability to conceive a child.
