silver in Genesis 20
SIL-ver
This thing shows up in Genesis 20:16: “To Sarah he said, “Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes to all that…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Genesis 20:16
“To Sarah he said, “Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes to all that are with you. In front of all you are vindicated.””

When you hear silver in Genesis, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
