Chapter 20
| Gene | Geneva15 | 20:1 | Afterward Abraham departed thence toward the South countrey and dwelled betweene Cadesh and Shur, and soiourned in Gerar. | |
| Gene | Geneva15 | 20:2 | And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. Then Abimelech King of Gerar sent and tooke Sarah. | |
| Gene | Geneva15 | 20:3 | But God came to Abimelech in a dreame by night, and said to him, Beholde, thou art but dead, because of the woman, which thou hast taken: for she is a mans wife. | |
| Gene | Geneva15 | 20:4 | (Notwithstanding Abimelech had not yet come neere her) And he said, Lord, wilt thou slay euen the righteous nation? | |
| Gene | Geneva15 | 20:5 | Said not he vnto me, She is my sister? yea, and she her selfe said, He is my brother: with an vpright minde, and innocent handes haue I done this. | |
| Gene | Geneva15 | 20:6 | And God saide vnto him by a dreame, I knowe that thou diddest this euen with an vpright minde, and I kept thee also that thou shouldest not sinne against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touche her. | |
| Gene | Geneva15 | 20:7 | Now then deliuer the man his wife againe: for he is a Prophet, and he shall pray for thee that thou mayest liue: but if thou deliuer her not againe, be sure that thou shalt die the death, thou, and all that thou hast. | |
| Gene | Geneva15 | 20:8 | Then Abimelech rising vp early in ye morning, called all his seruants, and tolde all these things vnto them, and the men were sore afraid. | |
| Gene | Geneva15 | 20:9 | Afterward Abimelech called Abraham, and said vnto him, What hast thou done vnto vs? and what haue I offeded thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdome this great sinne? thou hast done things vnto me that ought not to be done. | |
| Gene | Geneva15 | 20:10 | So Abimelech said vnto Abraham, What sawest thou that thou hast done this thing? | |
| Gene | Geneva15 | 20:11 | Then Abraham answered, Because I thought thus, Surely the feare of God is not in this place, and they will slay me for my wiues sake. | |
| Gene | Geneva15 | 20:12 | Yet in very deede she is my sister: for she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother, and she is my wife. | |
| Gene | Geneva15 | 20:13 | Nowe when God caused me to wander out of my fathers house, I said then to her, This is thy kindnes that thou shalt shewe vnto me in all places where we come, Say thou of me, He is my brother. | |
| Gene | Geneva15 | 20:14 | Then tooke Abimelech sheepe and beeues, and men seruants, and women seruants, and gaue them vnto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife. | |
| Gene | Geneva15 | 20:15 | And Abimelech saide, Beholde, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee. | |
| Gene | Geneva15 | 20:16 | Likewise to Sarah he said, Beholde, I haue giuen thy brother a thousand pieces of siluer: behold, he is the vaile of thine eyes to all that are with thee, and to all others: and she was thus reproued. | |
| Gene | Geneva15 | 20:17 | Then Abraham prayed vnto God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his women seruants: and they bare children. | |
