Etymology & Historical Origin - Ishmael. Ishmael comes from the Hebrew name Yishma'el meaning âGod will hearâ. In the Old Testament or Hebrew Bible, Ishmael was the son of Abraham and half-brother to Isaac. His story is told in Genesis chapter 16. Abraham and his wife Sarah (Sarai) cannot conceive a child, so Sarah gives her Egyptian handmaiden, Hagar, to Abraham.

THe only lake you can swim publicly in this city is Sikome Lake, but I bet by now it has been deemed hazardous to human health. I swam there when I was a kid and at the time it was busy and lots of people would go there. Otherwise it is the community lakes, Sylvan Lake is the best IMO for Alberta.He only lake you can swim publicly in this city is Sikome Lake, but I bet by now it has been deemed hazardous to human health.
