Commentary on Genesis 12:18

Theological / Devotional

Pharaoh called Abram. Pharaoh’s words of reproof imply that he would not have taken Sarai had he known her to be another man’s wife. His intentions were above reproach; his arrangements for making her his wife were entirely legitimate. Sarai had been taken to court in preparation for the wedding, but had not yet joined the king. And Abram, on his part, had accepted the customary dowry and other gifts in token of the king’s favor.
