Notes for Sarah: People are neither completely good nor bad- it is tempting to paint them as one or the other in this story. We are complex and their story is just as complex. Literature- the good girl/bad girl dichotomy. Check your judgements at the door- I had a HARD time with this! How the Bible introduces Sarah and Abraham: Genesis 11: 27 ¶ Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot. 28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the aChaldees . 29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram’s wife was aSarai ; and the name of Nahor’s wife, bMilcah , the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah. Is Iscah another name for Sarai? Possibly… Wikipedia: The difficult genealogy of Abrah
