Abimelech's warning

From an infographic about Biblical dreams.

"God stops Abimelech, the king of Gerar, from sleeping with Sarah (Abraham’s wife)."

Literally, everything about that story is awkward affff. Abimelech thinks Sarah is Abraham's sister because they TELL HIM that she is. So in true patriarchal fashion he's like, "Hey give me your sister to sleep with." And Abraham's like "ok" And then God is like "hey dude don't sleep with her, she's his wife." And then Abimilech is like "WTF MAN WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT" And then Abraham is like "sorry dude you got me she is my wife but she IS also my half sister, so I didn't really lie to you!" which I guess is supposed to make that better.

Also, Sarah is roughly 90 years old when that story happens. wHaT a CoUgAr.

The Bible's real weird sometimes (a lot of the time).
