Chapter 20
Gene | RNKJV | 20:1 | And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar. | |
Gene | RNKJV | 20:2 | And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. | |
Gene | RNKJV | 20:3 | But Elohim came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife. | |
Gene | RNKJV | 20:4 | But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, יהוה, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation? | |
Gene | RNKJV | 20:5 | 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. | |
Gene | RNKJV | 20:6 | And Elohim 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. | |
Gene | RNKJV | 20:7 | 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. | |
Gene | RNKJV | 20:8 | 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. | |
Gene | RNKJV | 20:9 | 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. | |
Gene | RNKJV | 20:11 | And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of Elohim is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake. | |
Gene | RNKJV | 20:12 | 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. | |
Gene | RNKJV | 20:13 | And it came to pass, when Elohim 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. | |
Gene | RNKJV | 20:14 | And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife. | |
Gene | RNKJV | 20:16 | 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. | |
Gene | RNKJV | 20:17 | So Abraham prayed unto Elohim: and Elohim healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children. | |
