Genesis 20

1And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar. 2And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. 3But Elohim came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, you a dead man, for the woman which you hast taken; for she a man's wife. 4But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, will you slay also a righteous nation? 5Said he not unto me, She my sister? and she, even she herself said, He my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this. 6And Elohim said unto him in a dream, yes, I know that you didst this in the integrity of your heart; for I also withheld you from sinning against me: therefore suffered I you not to touch her. 7Now therefore restore the man wife; for he a prophet, and he shall pray for you, and you shall live: and if you restore not, know you that you shall surely die, you, and all that your. 8Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid. 9Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast you done unto us? and what have I offended you, that you hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? you hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done. 10And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest you, that you hast done this thing? 11And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of Elohim not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake. 12And yet indeed my sister; she the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife. 13And it came to pass, when Elohim caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This your kindness which you shall shew unto me; at every place where we shall come, say of me, He my brother. 14And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife. 15And Abimelech said, Behold, my land before you: dwell where it pleaseth you. 16And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given your brother a thousand of silver: behold, he to you a covering of the eyes, unto all that with you, and with all : thus she was reproved. 17So Abraham prayed unto Elohim: and Elohim healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare . 18For the Yahuah had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
