Genesis 20:2
_ _ Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister — Fear of the people among whom he was, tempted him to equivocate. His conduct was highly culpable. It was deceit, deliberate and premeditated — there was no sudden pressure upon him — it was the second offense of the kind [see on Genesis 12:13] — it was a distrust of God every way surprising, and it was calculated to produce injurious effects on the heathen around. Its mischievous tendency was not long in being developed.
_ _ Abimelech (father-king) ... sent and took Sarah — to be one of his wives, in the exercise of a privilege claimed by Eastern sovereigns, already explained (see on Genesis 12:15). |
Genesis 20:2
