Genesis 12:20
“And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had. ”
KJV
Read in Genesis 12Meaning
Pharaoh orders Abram, Sarai, and their possessions to leave Egypt under escort, bringing the episode to a decisive close.
Read carefully
The material possessions Abram carries away do not convert the episode into a success story. The household departs after deception has been exposed and rebuked.
Reflection
Genesis 12 closes the Egypt episode with preservation but not vindication: God's promise continues even though Abram's conduct has required correction.
