The implication of this story is that Abraham was the cause of the pharaohs tak‌ ing his wife as his own, and-God forbid-that Abraham, who is one of the noblest of the prophets of God, should do something even an ordinary person would not do.
٣. Chapter ١٩ of Genesis relates the story of [what happened to] Lot and his two daughters when he went out of Zoar and dwelled in the hills. In this story, the elder daughter told her sister: "Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come into us after the manner of all the earth. Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve offspring through our father" (Gen. ١٩:٣٣). Thus, they made their father drink wine that night, and the older girl lay with him. The following night they also made him drink wine, and the younger girl lay with him; and both girls became pregnant. The older girl bore a son and named him Moab, and he is the father of the Moabites to this day. The younger also bore a son, and called him Ben Ammi; and he is the father of the Ammonites to this day. This is what the current Torah ascribes to the Prophet Lot and his daughters, and let the reader reflect on it and make his decision.
٤. Chapter ٢٧ of Genesis relates that Isaac wished to bestow upon his son Esau the blessing of the prophethood. But Jacob [his other son], deceived him and made him believe that he was Esau, and offered him food and wine. Isaac ate and drank. Thus, with the help of such tricks and many falsehoods, Jacob was able to obtain the bless‌ ing of God. And Isaac told him: "Be lord over your brothers, and may your mothers sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you, and blessed be every‌ one who blesses you" (Gen. ٢٧:٢٩). When Esau came, he knew that his brother Jacob had usurped the blessing of the prophethood, and said to his father, "Bless me, even me also, ٠ my father!" But he said, "Your brother came with guile, and he has taken away your blessing." Then Esau said, "Have you not reserved a blessing for me? Isaac answered Esau: "Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants, and with grain and wine I have sustained him. What then can I do for you, my son?" Esau lifted up his voice and wept (Gen. ٢٧:٣٥-٣٨).
This usurpation of prophethood: Is it something that makes sense? And does God bestow His prophethood on a deceptive liar, and withhold it from its rightful owner? Could Jacob deceive God as he deceived Isaac, and was God later unable to restore the prophethood to its rightful owner? God is far too exalted for that. Perhaps the intoxication with wine was the reason for writing this nonsense and attributing wine‌ drinking to Isaac.
٥. Chapter ٣٨ of Genesis relates that Judah, son of Jacob, committed adultery with his son Ers wife, named Tamar, and that she conceived by him and gave birth to the twins Perez and Zerah (Gen. ٣٨:١٣-٣٠). Moreover, chapter ١ of the Gospel of Mat‌ thew records the full genealogy of Jesus Christ and traces the ancestry of }esus and Solomon and his father, David, to Perez (who was born from the adulterous act of Judah and his daughter-in-law, Tamar).
God forbade His prophets to be born through adultery. How can anyone ascribe to them a birth through adultery with a woman they were legally forbidden to have! However, the author of the current Torah was unconceriled about what he wrote and said!
