Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Character Studies From The Bible

Abraham

New International Version (NIV)

0 Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe. 11 As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “I know what a beautiful woman you are. 12 When the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me but will let you live. 13 Say you are my sister, so that I will be treated well for your sake and my life will be spared because of you.”

14 When Abram came to Egypt, the Egyptians saw that Sarai was a very beautiful woman. 15 And when Pharaoh’s officials saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into his palace. 16 He treated Abram well for her sake, and Abram acquired sheep and cattle, male and female donkeys, male and female servants, and camels.

17 But the Lord inflicted serious diseases on Pharaoh and his household because of Abram’s wife Sarai. 18 So Pharaoh summoned Abram. “What have you done to me?” he said. “Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife? 19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!” 20 Then Pharaoh gave orders about Abram to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and everything he had.

(Genesis 12)

"Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."

((Rom. 4:3; cf. Gen. 15:6))

We have just been introduced to Abram, and this is the first story we have of him! Even in its cultural context, this was very bad behavior.

Abram and Sarai were, in fact, half-brother and sister, so it was not a total lie, but sometimes a half-truth is even more damaging and duplicitous than an outright falsehood. Obviously, Abram cared more about his own safety than either Sarai's, Pharaoh's, or even the entire People of Egypt. He would have a long way to go before becoming the Patriarch of Monotheism!

Stories like this show us that Abram was a man like anybody, and quite able to act in a stupid or even evil manner. It also demonstrates that the Bible, which shows its heroes "warts and all", came to us by Inspration. If it were just a person writing the stroy, he probably would not have included this!

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

Joining in prayer, left that other site, for Israel, our beloved America, and all God’s people.

It’s a comfort to know the Good Lord has our backs, especially when we screw up - like Abraham.
