wolfbiblemoonAccording to the SAB, this section of Genesis has been used to justify slavery, to equate homosexuality with being against the lord (The Sodomites) and is the reason for the troubles in the Middle East.
* God promises large amounts of land in the Middle East to Abraham and his descendants, but also predicts they will be enslaved for 400 years and demands a random animal sacrifice. Nice guy.
* There's a random epic battle between I don't know who, I think the Kings of Sodom and Gomorrah are mentioned.
* Abraham makes his barren wife (this was mentioned in yesterday's section) pretend to be his sister so they can go into Eygpt and he won't be killed for having beautiful wife (though they are 70 odd!)
