Oh Lord God...

In these chapters, several different events have happened. The punishment to a town, the sacrifice of Abraham, and the born of nations. But they have one thing in common. It shows how LORD God, is becoming more human-like. The first one appears in chapter 17, “Every man child among you shall be circumcised. And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.” By making exceptions, by choosing favorites, he is being more near attachments. (and I also discovered that this was why priests in some church can’t get married. Not only to be pure, but because of the story of Abraham.) What he has produced out of his attachment is inequality. We can see that through chapter 18, “That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes: Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five?” He has also corrupted Abraham, “Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.” (ch.20) I mean, it actually says it in chapter 22, “And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.”
