CHAPTER

A Bimalak Is the Righteous Man

A Bimalak does some things that are really similar to Abraham in this passage so for instance a Bimalak asks in 24 Lord will you kill and the ESV renders it on innocent people it's righteous will you kill a righteous people. In verse 7 he says now then return the man's wife for he is a prophet yes and he will pray for you. It's an astounding picture of the grace of God a BimalAK is the righteous man in this text but you know it's not the Pharisee who gets God's grace it's the text collector who beats his chest. Jim: Genesis ends with Joseph's famous statement what you meant for evil God meant for good in order
