And Abraham{H85} journeyed{H5265} from thence toward the land{H776} of the South,{H5045} and dwelt{H3427} between Kadesh{H6946} and Shur;{H7793} and he sojourned{H1481} in Gerar.{H1642}

And Abraham{H85} said{H559} of{H413} Sarah{H8283} his wife,{H802} She is my sister:{H269} and Abimelech{H40} king{H4428} of Gerar{H1642} sent,{H7971} and took{H3947} Sarah.{H8283}

But God{H430} came{H935} to Abimelech{H40} in a dream{H2472} of the night,{H3915} and said{H559} to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man,{H4191} because of the woman{H802} whom thou hast taken;{H3947} for she is a man's{H1167} wife.{H1166}

Now Abimelech{H40} had not come near{H7126} her: and he said,{H559} Lord,{H136} wilt thou slay{H2026} even a righteous{H6662} nation?{H1471}

Said{H559} he not himself unto me, She{H1931} is my sister?{H269} and she,{H1931} even{H1571} she{H1931} herself said,{H559} He is my brother:{H251} in the integrity{H8537} of my heart{H3824} and the innocency{H5356} of my hands{H3709} have I done{H6213} this.

And God{H430} said{H559} unto him in the dream,{H2472} Yea,{H1571} I know{H3045} that in the integrity{H8537} of thy heart{H3824} thou has done{H6213} this, and I also withheld{H2820} thee from sinning{H2398} against me: therefore suffered{H5414} I thee not to touch{H5060} her.

Now therefore restore{H7725} the man's{H376} wife;{H802} for he is a prophet,{H5030} and he shall pray{H6419} for thee,{H1157} and thou shalt live:{H2421} and if thou restore{H7725} her not, know{H3045} thou that thou shalt surely{H4191} die,{H4191} thou, and all that are thine.

And Abimelech{H40} rose early{H7925} in the morning,{H1242} and called{H7121} all his servants,{H5650} and told{H1696} all these things{H1697} in their ears:{H241} and the men{H582} were sore{H3966} afraid.{H3372}

Then Abimelech{H40} called{H7121} Abraham,{H85} and said{H559} unto him, What hast thou done{H6213} unto us? and wherein have I sinned{H2398} against thee, that thou hast brought{H935} on me and on my kingdom{H4467} a great{H1419} sin?{H2401} thou hast done{H6213} deeds{H4639} unto me that ought not to be done.{H6213}

And Abimelech{H40} said{H559} unto Abraham,{H85} What{H4100} sawest thou,{H7200} that thou hast done{H6213} this thing?{H1697}

And Abraham{H85} said,{H559} Because I thought,{H559} Surely{H7535} the fear{H3374} of God{H430} is not in this place;{H4725} and they will slay me{H2026} for my wife's{H802} sake.{H1697}

And moreover she is indeed{H546} my sister,{H269} the daughter{H1323} of my father,{H1} but not the daughter{H1323} of my mother;{H517} and she became my wife:{H802}

and it came to pass, when God{H430} caused me to wander{H8582} from my father's{H1} house,{H1004} that I said{H559} unto her, This is thy kindness{H2617} which thou shalt show{H6213} unto me: at every place{H4725} whither we shall come,{H935} say{H559} of me, He is my brother.{H251}

And Abimelech{H40} took{H3947} sheep{H6629} and oxen,{H1241} and men-servants{H5650} and women-servants,{H8198} and gave{H5414} them unto Abraham,{H85} and restored{H7725} him Sarah{H8283} his wife.{H802}

And Abimelech{H40} said,{H559} Behold, my land{H776} is before thee: dwell{H3427} where it pleaseth{H2896} thee.

And unto Sarah{H8283} he said,{H559} Behold, I have given{H5414} thy brother{H251} a thousand{H505} pieces of silver:{H3701} behold, it is for thee a covering{H3682} of the eyes{H5869} to all that are with thee; and in respect of all thou art righted.{H3198}

And Abraham{H85} prayed{H6419} unto God:{H430} and God{H430} healed{H7495} Abimelech,{H40} and his wife,{H802} and his maid-servants;{H519} and they bare{H3205} children.

For Jehovah{H3068} had fast{H6113} closed up{H6113} all the wombs{H7358} of the house{H1004} of Abimelech,{H40} because{H1697} of Sarah,{H8283} Abraham's{H85} wife.{H802}
