The first incident was when Abram entered into Egypt because of famine, and he lied regarding his and Sarai relationship because he was scared harm would befall him due to Sarai’s great beauty (King James Version, 1611 version, Genesis 12: 11-12). Due to this deception regarding Sarai, Abram received numerous gifts from Pharaoh. This presents Abram’s lack of faith in God’s protection, and his selfishness by the willingness to force his wife into an improper relationship (Tullock, & McEntire, 2012). Additionally, the plague on Pharaoh’s house begs the question of how far things went between him and Sarai as Abimelech did not suffer the same fate as Pharaoh.
