Young's Literal Translation
And Abraham journeyed
from thence toward the south country
, and dwelled
between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned
in Gerar .
And Abraham journeyeth
from thence toward the land
of
the
south, and dwelleth
between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourneth
in Gerar ;
And Abraham said
of
Sarah his wife, She is my sister :
and Abimelech king of Gerar sent,
and took
Sarah.
and Abraham saith
concerning
Sarah his wife, `
She is my sister ;'
and Abimelech king of Gerar sendeth
and taketh
Sarah.
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
.
And
God cometh
in
unto
Abimelech in a dream of
the
night, and saith
to him, `Lo
, thou `
art '
a dead man, because
of
the woman whom
thou hast taken --
and
she married
to
a husband
. '
But
Abimelech had
not come
near her :
and he said
, LORD, wilt
thou
slay
also a righteous nation?
And
Abimelech hath
not drawn
near unto
her ,
and he saith
, `
Lord, also a righteous nation dost
thou
slay
?
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.
hath
not he
himself
said
to
me, She `
is '
my sister !
and she, even she herself ,
said, He `
is '
my brother ;
in the integrity of my heart ,
and in
the
innocency of my hands ,
I have
done this. '
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 .
And God saith
unto him in the
dream, `
Yea, I --
I
have
known
that in the integrity of thy heart thou
hast
done
this,
and
I withhold
thee ,
even
I,
from sinning against Me ,
therefore I have
not suffered
thee
to come
against
her ;
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
.
and
now send
back
the man's
wife ,
for he `
is '
inspired
, and he doth
pray for thee, and live thou;
and if thou do
not send
back
, know that dying
thou dost
die, thou, and all that thou
hast
. '
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.
And
Abimelech riseth
early in the morning, and calleth
for
all his servants, and speaketh
all these words
in their ears ;
and the men fear
exceedingly;
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
.
and
Abimelech calleth
for
Abraham, and saith
to
him, `
What hast thou done to
us? and what have I sinned
against
thee, that thou hast brought upon
me ,
and upon
my kingdom ,
a great sin? works
which
are
not
done
thou hast done with
me. '
And
Abimelech said
unto Abraham, What sawest
thou ,
that thou hast done this thing?
Abimelech also
saith
unto Abraham, `
What hast
thou seen
that thou hast done this thing? '
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 .
And Abraham saith
, `
Because I said
, `
Surely the fear of God is not in this place ,
and they have
slain
me for the
sake of
my
wife;
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 .
and also,
truly
she is my sister ,
daughter of my father, only
not daughter of my mother ,
and she becometh
my wife ;
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
show
unto
me ;
at every place whither we shall
come, say of me, He is my brother.
and it cometh
to pass, when God hath
caused me to wander from my father's house, that I say
to
her, This `
is '
thy kindness which thou dost
with
me :
at every place whither we come, say of me, He `
is '
my brother. '
And Abimelech took
sheep ,
and oxen, and menservants,
and womenservants
, and gave
them
unto
Abraham, and restored
him Sarah his wife .
And Abimelech taketh
sheep and oxen, and servants
and handmaids
, and giveth
to
Abraham, and sendeth
back
to
him Sarah his wife ;
And Abimelech said
, Behold
, my land is before thee :
dwell
where it pleaseth
thee.
and Abimelech saith
, `Lo
, my land `
is '
before thee ,
where it is
good
in
thine
eyes,
dwell;'
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
.
and to
Sarah he hath
said, `Lo
, I have given a thousand silverlings
to
thy
brother;
lo
, it
is to thee a covering of eyes, to
all who
are with thee ;'
and by
all this
she is
reasoned
with
.
So
Abraham prayed
unto God :
and God healed
Abimelech ,
and his wife, and his maidservants;
and they bare
children.
And
Abraham prayeth
unto God ,
and God healeth
Abimelech and his wife, and his handmaids,
and they bear:
For the
LORD
had fast
closed
up
all
the
wombs
of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
for Jehovah
restraining
had restrained
every
womb
of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah ,
Abraham's wife.
