Today's reading in Genesis 20 and 21 begins with another deception by Abraham and Sarah regarding their relationship.  Here is another example of how withholding important information, or giving a partial answer, can be a lie.  This lie had serious consequences for Sarah, Abraham, Abimelech and his household!  God's intervention, as pointed out in my commentary, eliminates any doubt as to the father of the son soon to be born to Sarah.
