| Bible Question: Am I missing something or is Sarah 90 plus years old (gen17-17) when Abraham lies about Sarah being his wife due to Abimelech's lust for her??? Why would Abimelech lust after a 90 year old women??? |
|
Bible Answer: You're reading it right. It has nothing to do with Abimelech having unusual tastes. Rather, that Sarah was an unusual woman, blessed by God physically as well as in many other ways. This was, by the way, not a singular instance of her beauty attracting attention. |
