Cenk Uygur’s Emperor Has No Clothes Award acceptance speech [March11] should have stated that Jacob, not Abraham, “had sex with his wife, her sister, his maid and his sister’s maid.” The bible recounts that Jacob was married simultaneously to Leah and Rachel and that he had 12 sons (the eventual 12 tribes of Israel) and at least one daughter with them and their maidservants, Bilhah and Zilpah, whom he also married.
Thanks to Henry Steinberger, Wisconsin, for pointing this out.
