Genesis 20:1-14

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>_.
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>_.
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)_.
{a man's...: Heb. married to an husband}
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>_?
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. {integrity: or, simplicity, or, sincerity}
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.
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.
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)_.
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)_.
And Abimelech
<040>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Abraham
<085>_,
What
<04100>
sawest thou
<07200> (8804)_,
that thou hast done
<06213> (8804)
this thing
<01697>_?
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
