Dear Brother Edwin, Although Abram's attempted to implement a divine plan by human means, it was not adulterous. First, because the law against such a practice had not yet been given (Exodus 20:14). Second, because the practice of the taking of concubines and multiple wives was a matter of binding agreement where the man assumed full responsibility for the woman.
