Genesis 20:4

Now Abimelech had not gone near her. He said, “Lord, ¹  would you really slaughter an innocent nation? ² 

Now Abimelech had not gone near her, so he said, "Lord, will you destroy an innocent nation?

Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, "Lord, will You slay a nation, even though blameless?

But Abimelech had not slept with her yet, so he said, "Lord, will you kill an innocent man?

Now Abimelech had not yet slept with her, hadn't so much as touched her. He said, "Master, would you kill an innocent man?

Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, Lord, will you put to death an upright nation?

Now Abimelech had not approached her; so he said, "Lord, will you destroy an innocent people?

But Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, "Lord, will You slay a righteous nation also?

Now Abimelech had not gone near her. He said, “Lord, ¹  would you really slaughter an innocent nation? ² 

¹ tn The Hebrew term translated “Lord” here is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).

² tn Apparently Abimelech assumes that God’s judgment will fall on his entire nation. Some, finding the reference to a nation problematic, prefer to emend the text and read, “Would you really kill someone who is innocent?” See E. A. Speiser, Genesis (AB), 149.
