Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to Reading with Ben! Today I'll continue the lecture with chapters 20 & 21.
Genesis Chapter 20, a similar pattern emerges. Abraham and company pull up stakes at Mamre and move to a place called Gerar, south of Gaza. Once again, Abraham and Sarah lie: claiming they are brother and sister (Genesis 20:13). The intent is to disguise the fact that they are married. Again, the most powerful man in the region, King Abimelech, takes this supposedly unattached woman for one of his wives (Genesis 20:2).
Genesis Chapter 21, begins with the long-awaited birth of the son God had promised to Abraham and Sarah. This is the child through whom God would make Abraham a great nation (Genesis 17:6–7).
