📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Genesis, Isaac and his wife Rebekah are living in the land of Gerar, a region inhabited by the Philistines, during a time of famine when Abraham's descendants were wandering and seeking sustenance. Isaac fears for his life and lies about Rebekah being his sister instead of his wife, worried that the local men might kill him to take her because of her beauty, which reflects the patriarchal era's dangers for vulnerable women in foreign territories. This incident echoes similar deceptions by his father Abraham, highlighting recurring themes of faith and human frailty among the early biblical figures.
