She may be a beauty queen in high school but 65? In Genesis 26, it is Isaac who lies when, feeling scared when men start asking him about Rebekah, he responds that she is his sister. Scripture portrays him as the leader of the journey, with Abraham, Sarah, and Lot in tow. The narrative never states whether Sarah complied with his request. That's when she met Pharaoh. One gets the sense from reading Gen. 12:20 that Abraham and Sarah were given a royal escort out of the country by Pharaoh's men. Sarai was taken into Pharaoh’s house, and many gifts were given to Abram (Genesis 12:16). Then she's 90 when she met Abimelech. Fifteen or twenty years! How long did God forbear with Abraham? In this case we only read that God appeared to … Genesis 12:10-20 records that the same thing occurred between Abraham and Pharaoh fifteen or twenty years earlier. We do not read how long Sarah was in Abimelech's harem. But the first long leg of the journey stalled at Haran, about 650 miles northwest, roughly following the course of the Euphrates.
