Class Discussion

1.       This is the second account of Abraham instructing Sarah to tell people she is his sister, the ruler of the land taking Sarah to be their wife, the ruler being punished, and the ruler then making Abraham prosper.  Is the repeat of this action without recorded condemnation and Abraham being prospered evidence that Abraham’s actions were right in the sight of God?




2.       Twice in this section, “early in the morning” was given as the time frame for when Abraham acted to fulfill God’s requests.  What can we learn from this?
