Chapter 20
And
Abraham
journeyed
from
thence
toward
the
south
country,
and
dwelled
between
Kadesh
and
Shur,
and
sojourned
in
Gerar.
2
And
Abraham
said
of
Sarah
his
wife,
She
is
my
sister:
and
Abimelech
king
of
Gerar
sent,
and
took
Sarah.
3
But
God
came
to
Abimelech
in
a
dream
by
night,
and
said
to
him,
Behold,
thou
art
but
a
dead
man,
for
the
woman
which
thou
hast
taken;
for
she
is
a
man’s
wife.
4
But
Abimelech
had
not
come
near
her:
and
he
said,
Lord,
wilt
thou
slay
also
a
righteous
nation?
5
Said
he
not
unto
me,
She
is
my
sister?
and
she,
even
she
herself
said,
He
is
my
brother:
in
the
integrity
of
my
heart
and
innocency
of
my
hands
have
I
done
this.
6
And
God
said
unto
him
in
a
dream,
Yea,
I
know
that
thou
didst
this
in
the
integrity
of
thy
heart;
for
I
also
withheld
thee
from
sinning
against
me:
therefore
suffered
I
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:
and
if
thou
restore
her
not,
know
thou
that
thou
shalt
surely
die,
thou,
and
all
that
are
thine.
8
Therefore
Abimelech
rose
early
in
the
morning,
and
called
all
his
servants,
and
told
all
these
things
in
their
ears:
and
the
men
were
sore
afraid.
9
Then
Abimelech
called
Abraham,
and
said
unto
him,
What
hast
thou
done
unto
us?
and
what
have
I
offended
thee,
that
thou
hast
brought
on
me
and
on
my
kingdom
a
great
sin?
thou
hast
done
deeds
unto
me
that
ought
not
to
be
done.
10
And
Abimelech
said
unto
Abraham,
What
sawest
thou,
that
thou
hast
done
this
thing?
11
And
Abraham
said,
Because
I
thought,
Surely
the
fear
of
God
is
not
in
this
place;
and
they
will
slay
me
for
my
wife’s
sake.
12
And
yet
indeed
she
is
my
sister;
she
is
the
daughter
of
my
father,
but
not
the
daughter
of
my
mother;
and
she
became
my
wife.
13
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
God
caused
me
to
wander
from
my
father’s
house,
that
I
said
unto
her,
This
is
thy
kindness
which
thou
shalt
shew
unto
me;
at
every
place
whither
we
shall
come,
say
of
me,
He
is
my
brother.
14
And
Abimelech
took
sheep,
and
oxen,
and
menservants,
and
womenservants,
and
gave
them
unto
Abraham,
and
restored
him
Sarah
his
wife.
15
And
Abimelech
said,
Behold,
my
land
is
before
thee:
dwell
where
it
pleaseth
thee.
16
And
unto
Sarah
he
said,
Behold,
I
have
given
thy
brother
a
thousand
pieces
of
silver:
behold,
he
is
to
thee
a
covering
of
the
eyes,
unto
all
that
are
with
thee,
and
with
all
other:
thus
she
was
reproved.
17
So
Abraham
prayed
unto
God:
and
God
healed
Abimelech,
and
his
wife,
and
his
maidservants;
and
they
bare
children.
18
For
the
Lord
had
fast
closed
up
all
the
wombs
of
the
house
of
Abimelech,
because
of
Sarah
Abraham’s
wife.
