But God came to Abimelech in a dream in the night, and said to him, Truly you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man's wife.

And Abraham went on his way from there to the land of the South, and was living between Kadesh and Shur, in Gerar.

And Abraham said of Sarah, his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech, king of Gerar, sent and took Sarah.

Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, Lord, will you put to death an upright nation?

And, in fact, she is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife:

Then Abimelech gave to Abraham sheep and oxen and men-servants and women-servants, and gave him back his wife Sarah.

And Abraham said, Because it seemed to me that there was no fear of God in this place, and that they might put me to death because of my wife.

Then Abraham made prayer to God, and God made Abimelech well again, and his wife and his women-servants, so that they had children.

And God said to him in the dream, I see that you have done this with an upright heart, and I have kept you from sinning against me: for this reason I did not let you come near her.

And when God sent me wandering from my father's house, I said to her, Let this be the sign of your love for me; wherever we go, say of me, He is my brother.

And he said to Sarah, See, I have given to your brother a thousand bits of silver so that your wrong may be put right; now your honour is clear in the eyes of all.
