Listen "Racism = Incest | Genesis 24"
Episode Synopsis
In this chapter, Abraham's racism results in more incest. He commands a servant to go get a wife who isn't a dirty Canaanite or Egyptian, but rather, a blood relation. The servant sets a test for God who passes with flying colours by making Rebekah say some magic words (thus limiting her free will, presumably?). After recounting the whole story to the girl's family (basically writing the chapter twice), the servant manipulates Rebekah and her family into leaving immediately by invoking the name of God. When they return home, there's a sweet meet cute where Rebekah puts on a veil for 5 minutes before going into Sarah's tent to "comfort" Isaac who is still mourning his mom's death.
