Genesis (day two)

Surprisingly, the first five chapters of today (11-15) were pretty straight forward, and i had nothing to say about them.

Chapter 16.
 1-Once again, where did his wife come from?
 11-Is this child like the one "call me Ishmael" from Moby Dick or something?

Chapter 17.
 10-Um, so anyone that has been circumcised is a descendant of abraham?  But then what if they are athiest?

Chapter 19.
 5-Who would even think about raping an angel.  Did they not know that they were angels sent by God?
 8-Even if they are trying to rape the angels, why would you offer your daughters instead?  At what point do you draw that line?
 22-Wait why does this automatically mean it would be called Zoar?  That seems sort of random to me.  Is it like some sort of pun in hebrew, that wouldn't come across in English?
 31-32-WTF?  They want to get knocked up by their father?  I mean, even if its to keep their lineage, that has got to be a sin...

General though about chapter 19-After Noah survived the floods, didn't God apologize?  Didn't he say he would not kill man ever again?
