Abram was afraid that he would be killed because back then they were too moral to sleep with another man's wife, so they killed him before they took her. Also, Sarai was his half sister, which I assume you object to also. Yes it is true that women were treated like possessions. Polygamy was tolerated until God declared an end to it through the apostle Paul. The Bible does not condone any of those sins. Much of the Bible is written as history. The Bible tells the truth of what happened. If all scripture is inspired by God then how can God not tell the truth if he IS truth? Ruben sleeping with...Bilal I think it was, I know it was one of Joseph's concubines. Not condoned, did happen. This is like game of thrones meets sister wives. Kind of riveting stories.
