Fascinating read on Abraham's moral calculus here. Th counternarrative about divine approval rather than condemnation opens up intrguing questions about ancient Near Eastern honor codes. When God chooses Abraham as the intercessor for Abimelech's household after the deception, it realy does suggest a more complex ethical framework than simple truth-telling.

Thank you.
