019:036 Thus both of Lot's daughters were with child by their father.
019:037 The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father
of the Moabites to this day.
019:038 The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi.
He is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.
020:001 Abraham traveled from there toward the land of the South, and lived
between Kadesh and Shur. He lived as a foreigner in Gerar.
020:002 Abraham said about Sarah his wife, "She is my sister."
Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
020:003 But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said
to him, "Behold, you are a dead man, because of the woman
whom you have taken. For she is a man's wife."
020:004 Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, "Lord, will you
kill even a righteous nation?
020:005 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."
020:006 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.
020:007 Now therefore, restore the man's wife. For he is a prophet,
and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you don't
restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all
who are yours."
020:008 Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all
his servants, and told all these things in their ear.
The men were very scared.
020:009 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him,
"What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you,
that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin?
You have done deeds to me that ought not to be done!"
020:010 Abimelech said to Abraham, "What did you see, that you have
done this thing?"
020:011 Abraham said, "Because I thought, 'Surely the fear of God is
not in this place. They will kill me for my wife's sake.'
020:012 Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father,
but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
020:013 It happened, when God caused me to wander from my father's house,
that I said to her, 'This is your kindness which you shall show
to me. Everywhere that we go, say of me, "He is my brother."'"
020:014 Abimelech took sheep and oxen, male servants and female servants,
and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife, to him.
020:015 Abimelech said, "Behold, my land is before you.
Dwell where it pleases you."
020:016 To Sarah he said, "Behold, I have given your brother a thousand
pieces of silver. Behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes
to all that are with you. In front of all you are vindicated."
