Genesis 20
1And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.2And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She <add>is</add> my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
3But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou <add>art but</add> a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she <add>is</add> a man’s wife.4But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?5Said he not unto me, She <add>is</add> my sister? and she, even she herself said, He <add>is</add> my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.6And 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.7Now therefore restore the man <add>his</add> wife; for he <add>is</add> a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore <add>her</add> not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that <add>are</add> thine.
8Therefore 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.9Then 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.10And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?11And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God <add>is</add> not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife’s sake.12And yet indeed <add>she is</add> my sister; she <add>is</add> the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.13And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said unto her, This <add>is</add> thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He <add>is</add> my brother.
14And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave <add>them</add> unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.15And Abimelech said, Behold, my land <add>is</add> before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.16And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand <add>pieces</add> of silver: behold, he <add>is</add> to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that <add>are</add> with thee, and with all <add>other:</add> thus she was reproved.
17So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare <add>children</add>.18For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham’s wife.
3But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou <add>art but</add> a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she <add>is</add> a man’s wife.4But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?5Said he not unto me, She <add>is</add> my sister? and she, even she herself said, He <add>is</add> my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.6And 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.7Now therefore restore the man <add>his</add> wife; for he <add>is</add> a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore <add>her</add> not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that <add>are</add> thine.
8Therefore 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.9Then 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.10And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?11And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God <add>is</add> not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife’s sake.12And yet indeed <add>she is</add> my sister; she <add>is</add> the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.13And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said unto her, This <add>is</add> thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He <add>is</add> my brother.
14And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave <add>them</add> unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.15And Abimelech said, Behold, my land <add>is</add> before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.16And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand <add>pieces</add> of silver: behold, he <add>is</add> to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that <add>are</add> with thee, and with all <add>other:</add> thus she was reproved.
17So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare <add>children</add>.18For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham’s wife.
