Chapters 12-19 had some interesting information, to say the least. There was much confusion. First of all, where do all the other people come in after the flood? Such as the people of Sodom. I thought Abraham lived to be 900+ years old, and so far he's in his ninety's and it seems like he's about to die. When his daughters get him drunk and sleep with him, are they his daughters or are they his 'step' daughters? It almost sounds like they're his step daughters cause they do it to "preserve seed of our father."
I did like the part about Abraham trying to defend Sodom. It makes it seem like while god already believes in the inherit evil in humanity Abraham is trying to defend the hidden goodness. Which makes it seem as if god doesn't have a divine plan that can NOT be changed. Because he sort of haggled with god saying things like "Peradventure there by fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?"
