1 And Abraham <085> journeyed <05265> (8799) from thence toward the south <05045> country <0776>, and dwelled <03427> (8799) between Kadesh <06946> and Shur <07793>, and sojourned <01481> (8799) in Gerar <01642>.
2 And Abraham <085> said <0559> (8799) of <0413> Sarah <08283> his wife <0802>, She is my sister <0269>: and Abimelech <040> king <04428> of Gerar <01642> sent <07971> (8799), and took <03947> (8799) Sarah <08283>.
3 But God <0430> came <0935> (8799) to Abimelech <040> in a dream <02472> by night <03915>, and said <0559> (8799) to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man <04191> (8801), for the woman <0802> which thou hast taken <03947> (8804); for she is a man#s <01167> wife <01166> (8803).
4 But Abimelech <040> had not come near <07126> (8804) her: and he said <0559> (8799), Lord <0136>, wilt thou slay <02026> (8799) also a righteous <06662> nation <01471>?
5 Said <0559> (8804) he not unto me, She <01931> is my sister <0269>? and she <01931>, even <01571> she <01931> herself said <0559> (8804), He is my brother <0251>: in the integrity <08537> of my heart <03824> and innocency <05356> of my hands <03709> have I done <06213> (8804) this.
6 And God <0430> said <0559> (8799) unto him in a dream <02472>, Yea <01571>, I know <03045> (8804) that thou didst <06213> (8804) this in the integrity <08537> of thy heart <03824>; for I also withheld <02820> (8799) thee from sinning <02398> (8800) against me: therefore suffered <05414> (8804) I thee not to touch <05060> (8800) her.
7 Now therefore restore <07725> (8685) the man <0376> his wife <0802>; for he is a prophet <05030> , and he shall pray <06419> (8691) for thee <01157>, and thou shalt live <02421> (8798): and if thou restore <07725> (8688) her not, know <03045> (8798) thou that thou shalt surely <04191> (8800) die <04191> (8799), thou, and all that are thine.
8 Therefore Abimelech <040> rose early <07925> (8686) in the morning <01242>, and called <07121> (8799) all his servants <05650>, and told <01696> (8762) all these things <01697> in their ears <0241>: and the men <0582> were sore <03966> afraid <03372> (8799).
9 Then Abimelech <040> called <07121> (8799) Abraham <085>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, What hast thou done <06213> (8804) unto us? and what have I offended <02398> (8804) thee, that thou hast brought <0935> (8689) on me and on my kingdom <04467> a great <01419> sin <02401>? thou hast done <06213> (8804) deeds <04639> unto me that ought not to be done <06213> (8735).
10 And Abimelech <040> said <0559> (8799) unto Abraham <085>, What <04100> sawest thou <07200> (8804), that thou hast done <06213> (8804) this thing <01697>?
11 And Abraham <085> said <0559> (8799), Because I thought <0559> (8804), Surely <07535> the fear <03374> of God <0430> is not in this place <04725>; and they will slay me <02026> (8804) for my wife#s <0802> sake <01697>.
12 And yet indeed <0546> she is my sister <0269>; she is the daughter <01323> of my father <01>, but not the daughter <01323> of my mother <0517>; and she became my wife <0802>.
13 And it came to pass, when God <0430> caused me to wander <08582> (8689) from my father#s <01> house <01004>, that I said <0559> (8799) unto her, This is thy kindness <02617> which thou shalt shew <06213> (8799) unto me; at every place <04725> whither we shall come <0935> (8799), say <0559> (8798) of me, He is my brother <0251>.
14 And Abimelech <040> took <03947> (8799) sheep <06629>, and oxen <01241>, and menservants <05650> , and womenservants <08198>, and gave <05414> (8799) them unto Abraham <085>, and restored <07725> (8686) him Sarah <08283> his wife <0802>.
15 And Abimelech <040> said <0559> (8799), Behold, my land <0776> is before thee <06440>: dwell <03427> (8798) where it pleaseth <02896> <05869> thee.
16 And unto Sarah <08283> he said <0559> (8804), Behold, I have given <05414> (8804) thy brother <0251> a thousand <0505> pieces of silver <03701>: behold, he is to thee a covering <03682> of the eyes <05869>, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved <03198> (8737).
17 So Abraham <085> prayed <06419> (8691) unto God <0430>: and God <0430> healed <07495> (8799) Abimelech <040>, and his wife <0802>, and his maidservants <0519>; and they bare <03205> (8799) children.
18 For the LORD <03068> had fast <06113> (8800) closed up <06113> (8804) all the wombs <07358> of the house <01004> of Abimelech <040>, because <01697> of Sarah <08283> Abraham#s <085> wife <0802>.
