| Genesis 20:1 | And Abraham journeyed from thence towards the south country, and dwelt between Kadash and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 20:2 | And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, she is my sister: And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 20:3 | But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, on account of the woman whom thou hast taken: for she is a man's wife. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 20:4 | But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou also slay a righteous nation? | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 20:5 | Said he not to me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart, and innocence of my hands have I done this. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 20:6 | And God said to him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore I suffered thee not to touch her. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 20:7 | Now therefore restore to the man his wife, for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou shalt not restore her, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou and all that are thine. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 20:8 | Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were greatly afraid. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 20:9 | Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, What has thou done to us? and in what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds to me that ought not to be done. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 20:10 | And Abimelech said to Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing? | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 20:11 | And Abraham said, Because I thought, surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 20:12 | And yet indeed she is my sister: she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 20:13 | And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt show to me; At every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 20:14 | And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and men-servants, and women-servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored to him Sarah his wife. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 20:15 | And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 20:16 | And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, to all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 20:17 | So Abraham prayed to God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants, and they bore children. | |||||||||||||||
| Genesis 20:18 | For the LORD had made barren all the females of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife. | |||||||||||||||
