1 | Are Abraham and Sarah kin?? | Gen 20:12 | Getting2KnowGod | 226078 | ||
I'm just beginning my journey through the Bible, learning...I was told that incest is a sin (still haven't read about it yet in the Bible), but in Genesis 20:11-12, it says that Abraham and Sarah (his wife) are really sister and brother. | ||||||
2 | Are Abraham and Sarah kin?? | Gen 20:12 | Makarios | 226079 | ||
Greetings Getting2KnowGod, Welcome to StudyBibleForum.com! Yes, Abraham and Sarah's kinship is explained in Genesis 20:12-13. We are told later in Leviticus 18:6-18 that such a close kinship is indeed a sin (incest). But since the time of Noah all the way up to Abraham, the people of the earth had to multiply and disperse, and this meant that they really had to marry close kin at times in order to fulfill God's directive of "go and multiply" (Genesis 9:7). But after the nation of Israel is well established and delivered from Egypt, God makes it clear that such a close kinship in a marriage relationship should no longer be pursued and should be considered as sin from that point forward. Blessings to you, Makarios |
