Sins of the Father
It's incredible to read this story in Genesis 26 of Isaac and Abimelech, king of the Philistines, if only because I had read it at least twice before, albeit with Abraham doing the lying about Sarah. First of all, it's just plain wrong and cowardly for these men to have lied about their wives being their sister in order to avoid possible trouble. But more importantly, it is also a lack of faith in Yahweh, who has already promised his blessing to them, that lead to that cowardice. Quite sad indeed...
