wolfbiblemoonPolygamy, circumcision and old people may have children.
* This Abraham fellow does anything the Lord tells him just because he's been promised lots of descendants and that they'll all be very important. Even cutting off the foreskins of anyone involved with his family.
* The Lord is not the only schizo character, Abraham's wife tells him to lie with her handmaid because she herself cannot bear children and then is jealous when the handmaid conceives! The Lord seems pretty happy with the whole deal, polygamy and extra marital affairs obviously not a problem at this point.
* His previously barren wife will now be conceiving at the age of 90, and even she is pretty sceptical that this will happen.
* Abraham tries to convince the Lord not to wipe out the city of Sodom in case there are innocents residing amongst all the debauchery, yet the Lord has already wiped the Earth clean in a flood so I doubt he's worried about a few innocents in a city. But that's for tomorrow.
