Now Abraham
journeyed
from there
toward the land
of the Negev,
and settled
between
Kadesh
and Shur;
then he sojourned
in Gerar.
2
Abraham
said
of Sarah
his wife,
"She is my sister."
So Abimelech
king
of Gerar
sent
and took
Sarah.
3
But God
came
to Abimelech
in a dream
of the night,
and said
to him, "Behold,
you are a dead
man because
of the woman
whom
you have taken,
for she is married."
4
Now Abimelech
had not come near
her; and he said,
"Lord,
will You slay
a nation,
even
though blameless?
5
"Did he not himself
say
to me, 'She is my sister '?
And she herself
said,
'He is my brother.'
In the integrity
of my heart
and the innocence
of my hands
I have done
this."
6
Then God
said
to him in the dream,
"Yes,
I know
that in the integrity
of your heart
you have done
this,
and I also
kept
you from sinning
against Me; therefore
I did not let
you touch
her.
7
"Now
therefore, restore
the man's
wife,
for he is a prophet,
and he will pray
for you and you will live.
But if
you do not restore
her, know
that you shall surely
die,
you and all
who
are yours."
8
So Abimelech
arose early
in the morning
and c
all
ed
all
his servants
and told
all
these
things
in their hearing;
and the men
were greatly
frightened.
9
Then Abimelech
called
Abraham
and said
to him, "What
have you done
to us? And how
have I sinned
against you, that you have brought
on me and on my kingdom
a great
sin?
You have done
to me things
that ought not to be done."
10
And Abimelech
said
to Abraham,
"What
have you encountered,
that you have done
this
thing?"
11
Abraham
said,
"Because
I thought,
surely
there is no
fear
of God
in this
place,
and they will kill
me because
of my wife.
12
"Besides,
she actually
is my sister,
the daughter
of my father,
but not
the daughter
of my mother,
and she became
my wife;
13
and it came
about, when
God
caused me to wander
from my father's
house,
that I said
to her, 'This
is the kindness
which
you will show
to me: everywhere
we go,
say
of me, "He is my brother."'"
14
Abimelech
then took
sheep
and oxen
and male
and female
servants,
and gave
them to Abraham,
and restored
his wife
Sarah
to him.
15
Abimelech
said,
"Behold,
my land
is before
you; settle
wherever you please."
16
To Sarah
he said,
"Behold,
I have given
your brother
a thousand
pieces of silver;
behold,
it is your vindication
before all
who
are with you, and before
all men
you are cleared."
17
Abraham
prayed
to God,
and God
healed
Abimelech
and his wife
and his maids,
so that they bore
children.
18
For the LORD
had closed
fast
all
the wombs
of the household
of Abimelech
because
of Sarah,
Abraham's
wife.
