The Word of Pod

Genesis 16-19: Circumcision and the Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah


Listen Later

In this episode, we read about the accounts of Abraham and his mistreatment of his wife which results in her own schemes to have a son. Since Sarah is unable to have children of her own, she forces her servant into pregnancy in her stead. God convinces Abraham that he is faithful by instituting the covenant of circumcision, that God indeed will come through with his promise of blessing. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah is a strange and disturbing story including several points of role reversal and ending in judgment. It also provides an origin story for the Jew's future enemies. Check out the full episode!
