Why did Avraham (Abraham) hide the fact that Sarah was his wife when they lived in Gerar? |
The people of Gerar did not respect marriage customs as God expected them to be observed
Avraham was afraid that his wife would be kidnapped and held for ransom
Avraham felt that there was no fear of God in Gerar and that he would be murdered because of his wife
Avraham expected that Sarah would have more personal freedom if she was unmarried
