When God said of Israel, "I have given her a certificate of divorce", it was a rhetorical statement only. (He wasn't *actually* married to Israel like a man and woman, after all.) God made promises to the twelve tribes of Israel and to utterly reject any of them would be to cease being God.

Abraham's semi-repudiations of Sarah in Egypt and Philistia were prophetic of God's semi-repudiation of Israel and Judah. He expelled them from the land and from Zion for a time, but he also promised to restore them. Just as Abraham would never have utterly rejected Sarah, God will never utterly reject the physical, genetic descendants of Jacob.
Genesis 20

FROM THIS WEEK’S TORAH PORTION – VAYYEIRA:

The Akeida (The Binding)

“And it came to be after these events that Elohim tried Avraham, and said to him, ‘Avraham!’ And he said, ‘Here I am.’ And He said, ‘Take your son, now, your only son Yitschaq, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriyah, and offer him there as an ascending offering on one of the mountains which I command you.’ And Avraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Yitschaq his son. And he split the wood for the ascending offering, and arose and went to the place which Elohim had commanded him. And on the third day Avraham lifted his eyes and saw the place from a distance. So Avraham said to his young men, ‘Stay here with the donkey while the boy and I go over there and worship, and come back to you.’ And Avraham took the wood of the ascending offering and laid it on Yitschaq his son. And he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together. And Yitschaq spoke to Avraham his father and said, ‘My father!’ And he said, ‘Here I am, my son.’ And he said, ‘See, the fire and the wood! But where is the lamb for an ascending offering?’ And Avraham said, ‘My son, Elohim does provide for Himself the lamb for an ascending offering.’ And the two of them went together. And they came to the place which Elohim had commanded him, and Avraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order. And he bound Yitschaq his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood. And Avraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son, but the Messenger of YHWH called to him from the heavens and said, ‘Avraham, Avraham!’ And he said, ‘Here I am.’ And He said, ‘Do not lay your hand on the boy, nor touch him. For now I know that you fear Elohim, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.’ And Avraham lifted his eyes and looked and saw behind him a ram caught in a bush by its horns, and Avraham went and took the ram and offered it up for an ascending offering instead of his son. And Avraham called the name of the place, YHWH Yireh, as it is said to this day, ‘On the mountain YHWH provides.’ And the Messenger of YHWH called to Avraham a second time from the heavens, and said, ‘By Myself I have sworn, declares YHWH, because you have done this, and have not withheld your son, your only son, that I shall certainly bless you, and I shall certainly increase your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore, and let your seed possess the gate of their enemies. And in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.’”

Ancient (and not-so-ancient) herders were nomads, but they didn't move randomly. They guided their herds on regular circuits of pastureland. When one area was grazed down, they moved on to the next, mimicking the behavior of wild herds. Even among domesticated herds, animals are driven by instinct to continually return to the same pastures.

Herders couldn't break camp and move on to anywhere they wanted; there were cities, farms, and even ranches that had to be respected. Even so, they often competed with each other for access to grazing and water, sometimes violently. This is the background for the conflict and negotiations between King Abimelech and Father Abraham in Genesis 20.

Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father though not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife.
Genesis 20:12 ESV

This relationship isn't necessarily what it sounds like to modern Westerners. There are several ways that Sarah could have been Abraham's sister, some of which would not have been considered incest at the time, and one of which would be very normal.

*Terah had multiple wives and Sarah was literally his daughter by one of his other wives.
*Sarah was Terah’s granddaughter through one of Abraham’s brothers.
*Sarah was a slave purchased by Terah as a wife for Abraham, in which case Torah says she must be treated like a daughter

I think she most likely was Abraham's half-sister, but such a marriage would not have been a problem yet since the human genome had not deteriorated to the point where it would need to be forbidden.

God Means God? | #god #elohim

God Means God?
YHWH, Yahweh, Father

God Means God?

How odd that the only definition the word “God” could not express has become the only one it is known for now…
