Abraham continues his journeys, comes across another king who is interested in a ninety year old post-menopausal Sarah. Abraham and Sarah again lie and tell the king that they are siblings. The king takes her into his harem. God comes to the king in a dream and threatens to kill him for taking a married woman. The king pleads innocence, that he was lied to that she was Abraham's sister. So God commands the king to restore Sarah to Abraham, which he does, along with sheep, oxen and silver. So pimping Sarah pays off for she and Abraham again. God then opens the wombs of the king's household, which God had closed for taking in Sarah. The king's household then begins to produce children.
Fun fact, Abraham reveals to the king that Sarah is actually his half sister, so half a lie? And why didn't he tell Pharoah that it wasn't a lie the last time this happened? And just how hot is this ninety year old woman? Lots of unanswered questions here.
Anyway, another bizarre story of Abraham and Sarah posing as siblings, then the other guy gets in trouble and has to pay them off. They are like a grifting family and it obviously helps that God is in on their schemes. Just how hot can a ninety year old woman be?
GOD'S COMMANDMENT(S):
Genesis 20:2-4 - Don't take a married woman into your harem, even if she and her husband tell the half lie that she's not married. Luckily, if you do not touch her, even after believing the lie, you don't offend God (Genesis 20:6).
DIFFICULTY OF FOLLOWING COMMANDMENT(S):
Seems pretty simple to me.
GOD'S DEATH TOLL THIS CHAPTER:
