Notes in Genesis Chapter Sixteen

Genesis 16:5 - And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee.

Note: Sarai's idea, but Abram responsible as ultimate decision maker.  Wife not responsible before God for decisions husband makes.

Cross reference Genesis 3:17, "Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree...."
