01:020:005 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.
01:020:006 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.
01:020:007 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.
01:020:008 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.
01:020:009 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.
01:020:010 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou
hast done this thing?
01:020:011 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.
01:020:012 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.
01:020:013 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.
01:020:014 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and
womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him
Sarah his wife.
01:020:015 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell
where it pleaseth thee.
01:020:016 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.
01:020:017 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his
wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
01:020:018 For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of
Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
01:021:001 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did
unto Sarah as he had spoken.
01:021:002 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at
the set time of which God had spoken to him.
01:021:003 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him,
whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
