“God, of course, did not permit Abimelech to touch Sarah, though perhaps too because he had perfect self-control in all matters. Such a quality is truly a divine gift.”

— Origen (3rd century) on Genesis 20:4
What the Early Church wrote about Genesis 20 (4)

  • “We have read from the book of Genesis the story where it is related that after the appearance of the three men, after the destruction of Sodom and the salvation of Lot, either due to his hospitality or because of his kinship to Abraham, “Abraham departed thence,” the text says...”

  • “But when we reach perfection so that we are capable also of teaching others, let us then no longer enclose virtue within our bosom as a wife but as a sister; let us unite her also with others who desire her. For to those who are perfect the divine Word says, “Say that wisdom i...”

  • “But let us see what Abimelech said to the Lord. “You know, Lord,” the text says, “that I have done this with a pure heart.” This Abimelech acts very differently from Pharaoh.”

  • “But what is the meaning of that which Scripture adds: “And the Lord did not permit him to touch her”? If Sarah represents virtue and Abimelech wished to receive virtue “with a pure heart,” why is it said that “the Lord did not permit him to touch her”?”
