OK Norm, Let's begin in the pre-flood world.
The fallen angels had bred with women given birth to the Nephelem, part human, part demonic.
The result was catastrophic evil and bloodshed, it was stated that the inclination of every heart was evil- and that- continually.
Noah, however was genetically uncorrupted, we do not know about his kids or their wives or his wife.
Something must have gotten thru because the tribes that occupied the land of Israel were described as "Vampire-like demons"
and, just as in the Flood, were wiped out by command of God (this time by Israel).
Satan's desire was to corrupt ALL of humanity, thus killing God's plan.
The command to not kill is the command to not murder.
There is a difference between murder and execution.
God told Abraham to go and do what the heathen all around the world were doing.
Murdering their own kids.
Abraham said, "God will provide the sacrifice".
He knew the nature of God and trusted Him enough to go and begin to do what he knew God did not want.
SO that YOU would have a picture (a shadow and type) of what God would do in YOUR place by the sacrifice of Christ.
Yes, God chose that one little tribe to provide a conduit for His God-man to come and take the punishment we all deserve-
to ransom us from our rebellious destiny.
Brilliant plan and execution.
