King James Version
And Abraham journeyeth
from thence toward the land
of
the
south, and dwelleth
between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourneth
in Gerar ;
And Abraham journeyed
from thence toward the south country
, and dwelled
between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned
in Gerar .
and Abraham saith
concerning
Sarah his wife, `
She is my sister ;'
and Abimelech king of Gerar sendeth
and taketh
Sarah.
And Abraham said
of
Sarah his wife, She is my sister :
and Abimelech king of Gerar sent,
and took
Sarah.
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
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
Abimelech hath
not drawn
near unto
her ,
and he saith
, `
Lord, also a righteous nation dost
thou
slay
?
But
Abimelech had
not come
near her :
and he said
, LORD, wilt
thou
slay
also a righteous nation?
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. '
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.
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 ;
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
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
. '
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
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;
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 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. '
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
.
Abimelech also
saith
unto Abraham, `
What hast
thou seen
that thou hast done this thing? '
And
Abimelech said
unto Abraham, What sawest
thou ,
that thou hast done this thing?
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 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 also,
truly
she is my sister ,
daughter of my father, only
not daughter of my mother ,
and she becometh
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 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 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 handmaids
, and giveth
to

back
to
him Sarah his wife ;

is '
before thee ,
where it is
good
in
thine
eyes,
dwell;'

, my land is before thee :
dwell
where it pleaseth
thee.
and to
Sarah he hath
said, `Lo
, I have given a
thousand
silverlings
to
thy brother ;

, it
is to thee a covering of eyes, to
all who
are with thee ;'
and by
all this
she is
reasoned
with
.

Sarah he said, Behold
, I have given thy brother a
thousand
pieces
of
silver:

is to thee a covering of the
eyes, unto
all that
are with thee ,
and with
all other:
thus
she was
reproved
.

Abraham prayeth
unto God ,
and God healeth
Abimelech and his wife, and his handmaids,

Abraham prayed
unto God :

Abimelech ,
and his wife, and his maidservants;
and they bare
children.

restraining

of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah ,

LORD
had fast
closed
up
all
the
wombs
