Abraham Deceives

View All Lessons

It is a remarkable thing we read in Genesis 20.  Here we find Abraham deceiving the king of Gerar.  He gave the king to believe that Sarah was his sister and not his wife.  What is remarkable is that this is not the first time Abraham had resorted to deception.  In an earlier chapter, he had used the same tactics while in Egypt. And we are told that he had conspired with Sarah to tell this same story in “every place” they came. (Gen. 20.13)
