How many men in the Bible told their wife to say that she is his sister?

----------------------- Genesis gives two parallel stories of Abraham where he got tangled up in his deviousness. First he told the Pharaoh that his wife Sarah was his sister, for fear that the Pharaoh would kill him in order to have sex with her (Genesis 12:13), only to be found out and banished from Egypt. Later (Genesis 20:2), for the same reason, he told the king of Gerar that his by now quite elderly wife (Sarah was now over 90 years old and stricken with age) really was his sister. Just as Abraham tried to pass Sarah off as his sister while visiting the palace of Abimelech king of Gerar, so did Isaac, his son, try to pass his wife Rebekah off as his sister to the same king, once again for fear that the king would kill him in order to have sex with her (Genesis 26:6-11). It should be questioned why Abraham and Isaac believed that Egyptians and Gerarites would only attempt to have sex with a woman after killing her husband, and why they would not kill her brother in order to achieve the same ends. It must also have been remarkable that the king and the citizens of Gerar never suspected, nor became annoyed with the Abraham family after two failed attempts to deceive them.


Why was Abimelech interested in Abraham's wife Sarah in the Bible?

First he told the Pharaoh that his wife Sarah was his sister, for fear that the Pharaoh would kill him in order to have sex with her (Genesis 12:13), only to be found out and banished from Egypt. Later (Genesis 20:2ff), this time for fear that Abimelech, king of Gerar, would kill him in order to have sex with his by now quite elderly wife (Sarah was now over 90 years old and stricken with age), Abraham again said that Sarah really was his sister. Just as Abraham tried to pass Sarah off as his sister while visiting the palace of Abimelech king of Gerar, so did Isaac, his son, try to pass his wife Rebekah off as his sister to the same king, once again for fear that the king would kill him in order to have sex with her (Genesis 26:6-11).

Honda crf 80 top speed?

with a few small mods (jetting, airbox mod, exhaust mod) you can get this thing to 50mph pretty easily. stock id say around 45-47 mph. the 5th gear is pretty good for high speed on this lil bike. if you include hot cams, different sprocket sizes, bigger performance carb, serious modding stuff like that i wouldnt be suprised if the lil machine could go 54-57mph


By what ruse did Abram fare well in Egypt?

Abram told Pharaoh that Sarai, his wife, was his sister in order to protect himself. As a result, Pharaoh took Sarai into his palace. However, God plagued Pharaoh and his household with great plagues because of this deception. Realizing the truth, Pharaoh confronted Abram and sent him out of Egypt with his wife.


Why was Abimelech interested in Isaac's wife?

AnswerThis is called a doublet. Just as Abraham tried to pass Sarah off as his sister while visiting the palace of Abimelech king of Gerar, so did Isaac, his son, try to pass his wife Rebekah off as his sister to the same king, once again for fear that the king would kill him in order to have sex with her (Genesis 26:6-11). It should be questioned why Abraham and Isaac believed that Egyptians and Gerarites would only attempt to have sex with a woman after killing her husband, and why they would not kill her 'brother' in order to achieve the same ends.
