Bible Question: 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. |
Bible Answer: God's day to you, Getting2KnowGod. and welcome to the SBF, You are right Abraham and Sarah were half-brother and sister. In Genesis 19:30–38, Lot's two daughters conspire in getting their father drunk and have babies by him. The Bible does say incest is a sin: Leviticus 18 Leviticus 20:11-21 Deuteronomy 27:20, 22-23 There are a couple of close relations that got married: Abraham's great-niece was Rebecca, who married his son Isaac. Rebecca was sister of Laban, in turn, the father of Rachel and Leah, two of the wives of Rebecca's son Jacob. Hope you stay to share and seek answers, Searcher |
