Sarah
A little confused about Abraham and Abimilech where God says "he closed up every womb in his house because of Sarah". I know Abraham pretended like Sarah was his sister, but did other men really indeed sleep with her? My footnote in 20:9 speaks of "the guilt you've brought upon me", meaning the adultery. Just curious about this.

From some commentary I have read, it seems like Ablimilech was warned with the dream prior to "getting with" Sarah... one commentary said "It is a great mercy to be hindered from committing sin; of this God must have the glory." regarding Genesis 20:9-13
ReplyDeleteAlso, my study bible says that "ever since Sarah ARRIVED, none of Ablimilech's wives or concubines could conceive"...
