20:1 | And Abraham <085> journeyed <05265> (8799) from thence toward the south <05045> country <0776>, and dwelled <03427> (8799) between Kadesh <06946> and Shur <07793>, and sojourned <01481> (8799) in Gerar <01642>. |
20:2 | And Abraham <085> said <0559> (8799) of <0413> Sarah <08283> his wife <0802>, She [is] my sister <0269>: and Abimelech <040> king <04428> of Gerar <01642> sent <07971> (8799), and took <03947> (8799) Sarah <08283>. |
20:3 | But God <0430> came <0935> (8799) to Abimelech <040> in a dream <02472> by night <03915>, and said <0559> (8799) to him, Behold, thou [art but] a dead man <04191> (8801), for the woman <0802> which thou hast taken <03947> (8804); for she [is] a man's <01167> wife <01166> (8803). {a man's...: Heb. married to an husband} |
20:4 | But Abimelech <040> had not come near <07126> (8804) her: and he said <0559> (8799), Lord <0136>, wilt thou slay <02026> (8799) also a righteous <06662> nation <01471>? |
20:5 | Said <0559> (8804) he not unto me, She <01931> [is] my sister <0269>? and she <01931>, even <01571> she <01931> herself said <0559> (8804), He [is] my brother <0251>: in the integrity <08537> of my heart <03824> and innocency <05356> of my hands <03709> have I done <06213> (8804) this. {integrity: or, simplicity, or, sincerity} |
20:6 | And God <0430> said <0559> (8799) unto him in a dream <02472>, Yea <01571>, I know <03045> (8804) that thou didst <06213> (8804) this in the integrity <08537> of thy heart <03824>; for I also withheld <02820> (8799) thee from sinning <02398> (8800) against me: therefore suffered <05414> (8804) I thee not to touch <05060> (8800) her. |
20:7 | Now therefore restore <07725> (8685) the man <0376> [his] wife <0802>; for he [is] a prophet <05030>, and he shall pray <06419> (8691) for thee <01157>, and thou shalt live <02421> (8798): and if thou restore <07725> (8688) [her] not, know <03045> (8798) thou that thou shalt surely <04191> (8800) die <04191> (8799), thou, and all that [are] thine. |
20:8 | Therefore Abimelech <040> rose early <07925> (8686) in the morning <01242>, and called <07121> (8799) all his servants <05650>, and told <01696> (8762) all these things <01697> in their ears <0241>: and the men <0582> were sore <03966> afraid <03372> (8799). |
20:9 | Then Abimelech <040> called <07121> (8799) Abraham <085>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, What hast thou done <06213> (8804) unto us? and what have I offended <02398> (8804) thee, that thou hast brought <0935> (8689) on me and on my kingdom <04467> a great <01419> sin <02401>? thou hast done <06213> (8804) deeds <04639> unto me that ought not to be done <06213> (8735). |
20:10 | And Abimelech <040> said <0559> (8799) unto Abraham <085>, What <04100> sawest thou <07200> (8804), that thou hast done <06213> (8804) this thing <01697>? |
20:11 | And Abraham <085> said <0559> (8799), Because I thought <0559> (8804), Surely <07535> the fear <03374> of God <0430> [is] not in this place <04725>; and they will slay me <02026> (8804) for my wife's <0802> sake <01697>. |
20:12 | And yet indeed <0546> [she is] my sister <0269>; she [is] the daughter <01323> of my father <01>, but not the daughter <01323> of my mother <0517>; and she became my wife <0802>. |
20:13 | And it came to pass, when God <0430> caused me to wander <08582> (8689) from my father's <01> house <01004>, that I said <0559> (8799) unto her, This [is] thy kindness <02617> which thou shalt shew <06213> (8799) unto me; at every place <04725> whither we shall come <0935> (8799), say <0559> (8798) of me, He [is] my brother <0251>. |
20:14 | And Abimelech <040> took <03947> (8799) sheep <06629>, and oxen <01241>, and menservants <05650>, and womenservants <08198>, and gave <05414> (8799) [them] unto Abraham <085>, and restored <07725> (8686) him Sarah <08283> his wife <0802>. |
20:15 | And Abimelech <040> said <0559> (8799), Behold, my land <0776> [is] before thee <06440>: dwell <03427> (8798) where it pleaseth <02896> <05869> thee. {where...: Heb. as is good in thine eyes} |
20:16 | And unto Sarah <08283> he said <0559> (8804), Behold, I have given <05414> (8804) thy brother <0251> a thousand <0505> [pieces] of silver <03701>: behold, he [is] to thee a covering <03682> of the eyes <05869>, unto all that [are] with thee, and with all [other]: thus she was reproved <03198> (8737). |
20:17 | So Abraham <085> prayed <06419> (8691) unto God <0430>: and God <0430> healed <07495> (8799) Abimelech <040>, and his wife <0802>, and his maidservants <0519>; and they bare <03205> (8799) [children]. |
20:18 | For the LORD <03068> had fast <06113> (8800) closed up <06113> (8804) all the wombs <07358> of the house <01004> of Abimelech <040>, because <01697> of Sarah <08283> Abraham's <085> wife <0802>. |
