“And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.”
Abraham says of his wife Sarah that she is his sister, and Abimelech king of Gerar sends for her and takes her. The same deception, the same result — the matriarch of the covenant in a foreign king's household. Genesis 26:7 will record Isaac repeating this exact pattern with Rebekah. The sin of the father is modeled before the son. The application: patterns of compromise not genuinely confronted tend to be passed down. What you model in fear, those who follow you will reproduce.
