will bless you. I will make your name

families of the earth will find blessing

in you (Genesis 12: 2-3).

The nature of the afflictions is not spelled out.

Rashis inference [the greatest Rabbi of the middle

ages, A.D. 1040 1105] of a genital disorder

preventing intercourse is not unreasonable. In that

case, one might imagine a tense exchange between

Pharaoh and Sarai ending in a confession by Sarai of

her status as Abrams wife. In the laconic narrative art

of the Hebrew writer, this is left as a gap for us to fill in

by an indeterminate compound of careful deductionand imaginative reconstruction.

Scripture, which saw in advancethat God would justify the Gentiles

by faith, foretold the good news

1. Why would God choose Abram to play such a

pivotal role in the Plan of Redemption?

2. Why would Abram agree to the plan?

3. No sooner did Abram get to the land of Canaan

than he left it for Egypt. Why did he go?

4. What role does Sarai play in these decisions?

5. The story of Melchizedek is only 3 verses long:

14: 18-20. Who is Melchizedekand why is the

story here?
