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.
Now
Abimelech had not come near her .
He said, "
Lord, will
you
kill
even
a righteous nation?
But
Abimelech had not come near her :
and
he said, LORD, wilt
thou
slay
also
a righteous nation?
Didn't
he tell
me, '
She is my sister? '
She, even she herself said, '
He is my brother .'
In the integrity of my heart and the
innocence
of my hands have I done this. "
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.
God said to
him in the
dream, "Yes
, I know that in the integrity of your
heart you
have
done
this,
and
I also withheld you
from sinning against me .
Therefore I didn't
allow
you
to touch her.
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.

will
die, you
, and all who
are yours
. "
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
.

you
done to
us? How

brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You
have
done deeds to
me that ought not to be done !"

him, What hast
thou
done unto
us? and
what

thee

hast
brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou
hast
done deeds unto
me that ought not to be done .

What did
you
see
, that you
have
done this thing? "
And
Abimelech said unto
Abraham, What sawest
thou
, that thou
hast
done this thing?
Abraham said, "
Because I thought, '
Surely the fear of God is not in this place .
They will kill
me for my wife's sake. '

me for my wife's sake.

whither
we shall
come
, say of me, He is my brother.
