Apologetics: Genesis 20.11-12

Text

And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place. And they will slay me for my wife’s sake. 20:12 And moreover she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife: (Exodus 20:11-12 )

Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. (Deuteronomy 27:22)
