Genesis 20
- 1 Abraham removed from thence to the south country, and dwelt between Cades and Sur, and sojourned in Gerara.
- 2 And he said of Sara his wife: She is my sister. So Abimelech the king of Gerara sent, and took her.
- 3 And God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and he said to him: Lo thou shalt die for the woman that thou hast taken: for she hath a husband.
- 4 Now Abimelech had not touched her, and he said: Lord, wilt thou slay a nation that is ignorant and just?
- 5 Did not he say to me: She is my sister: and she say, He is my brother? in the simplicity of my heart, and cleanness of my hands have I done this.
- 6 And God said to him: And I know that thou didst it with a sincere heart: and therefore I withheld thee from sinning against me, and I suffered thee not to touch her.
- 7 Now therefore restore the man his wife, for he is a prophet: and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: but if thou wilt not restore her, know that thou shalt surely die, thou and all that are thine.
- 8 And Abimelech forthwith rising up in the night, called all his servants: and spoke all these words in their hearing, and all the men were exceedingly afraid.
- 9 And Abimelech called also for Abraham, and said to him: What hast thou done to us? what have we offended thee in, that thou hast brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done to us what thou oughtest not to do.
- 10 And again he expostulated with him, and said: What sawest thou, that thou hast done this?
- 11 Abraham answered: I thought with myself, saying: Perhaps there is not the fear of God in this place: and they will kill me for the sake of my wife:
- 12 Howbeit, otherwise also she is truly my sister, the daughter of my father, and not the daughter of my mother, and I took her to wife.
- 13 And after God brought me out of my father's house, I said to her: Thou shalt do me this kindness: In every place, to which we shall come, thou shalt say that I am thy brother.
- 14 And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and servants and handmaids, and gave to Abraham: and restored to him Sara his wife,
- 15 And said: The land is before you, dwell wheresoever it shall please thee.
- 16 And to Sara he said: Behold I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver, this shall serve thee for a covering of thy eyes to all that are with thee, and whithersoever thou shalt go: and remember thou wast taken.
- 17 And when Abraham prayed, God healed Abimelech and his wife, and his handmaids, and they bore children:
- 18 For the Lord had closed up every womb of the house of Abimelech, on account of Sara, Abraham's wife.
