In Genesis 26, Isaac told the Philistines that Rebekah was his sister rather than his wife. She was a female relative, so by the language and customs of the time, it wasn't a complete lie, but his intent was still to deceive. Didn't Isaac learn from Abraham's example? Repetition and patterns in the Bible are calls to look deeper.

What events repeat in Israel's history that are like a man temporarily disavowing his wife? Perhaps the Assyria and Babylon exiles?

Some time ago on my blog, I posted an article on how and why God disciplines me. One thing I learned is that God is trying to teach me to listen to Him. This got me thinking. How can I teach my own children to listen to me?
