the story of Sarai page 18

the story of Sarai page 18 by ric gustafson


Sarai heard the footsteps of the soldiers. She heard a knock on the door. She opened it to reveal two of Pharaoh's soldiers.
" Come with us".
She put a shawl on and followed the soldiers down a tiled path. They came to a ornate double door. One soldier opened the door and the three slowly walked past blaring trumpets. They walked up to an ornate throne and then Sarai noticed Abram standing next to it.
Pharaoh Mentuhotep pointed a finger at Abram. " Abram of Ur, what are you doing to me?". He pointed at Hagar who was standing on the other side of his throne. " This maid tells me that this woman is your wife and not your sister". His anger now burned. " Is this true?".
" It is the truth".
" Because of your lie, the wrath of the gods has come down on us".
" I believe in only one God the Creator God Adonai Elohim". He stared at Pharaoh. " I am only his servant".
Pharaoh shook his head and sighed. " Take your wife and get out of my sight". He pointed to one of his soldiers. " Escort him safely out of my country".
