Democrat or republican? Or just plain family busness?
Ok here is the story that i can't figure out.
Geneses 12:13
Abraham ( well some how god fall in love with this guys) tells Egyptian that she is his siter.( chapter 12) Now here comes the fair god and send plaque to egyptians coz abraham lied.
Cool. So after all abraham gets gold silver, animals and leaves but egyptians are punished coz of him.
Now few chapters later... Genses 20:2
20:2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
SO of cause here comes our fair god and punishes king Abimilech. What does abraham gets?
20:9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
20:10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
20:14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
20:15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
So our rightess dude Abraham pulls this trick twice to gain more gold and goodies.
Than his son Isaak does same like father.
Geneses
26:7 And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
Do you think it's a good busness practice? may be we all should learn from abraham how to lie and black mail others so we all can become rich?
And when some1 will try to explain this busness model i know one thing for sure.
God did not punish Egyptians or Abimelech for abraham lies and cheats. He punishes them for being perverts. No1 in thier strait mind would want to have a 99 years old chick who is long way on her menapause. God does not like that.

Remember that this is a myth/legend, and in these types of stories, women remain sexually attractive long after they would have gotten old and wrinkly in real life.
