Abram pretends that his wife is his sister so she can sleep with the Pharaoh. God isn’t impressed by this trick, so it’s time for a plague. God avoids math by getting Abram to count the stars to figure out his total number of descendents. Speaking of descendents, Abram has a baby with Sarai’s maid, leading to cat-fighting chaos in the family tent. Then, everyone gets circumcised. It’s a lot! (Genesis 12:1–17:27)
