Barashiyt 20

And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.

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

But Alahiym came to Abimelek 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."

But Abimelek had not come near her: and he said, "Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?

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."

And Alahiym 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.

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."

Therefore Abimelek rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.

Then Abimelek called Abraham, and said unto him, "What hast thou done unto us? and in 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."

And Abimelek said unto Abraham, "What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?"

And Abraham said, "Because I thought, 'Surely the fear of Alahiym is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.'

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.

And it came to pass, when Alahiym 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.'"

And Abimelek took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.

And Abimelek said, "Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee."

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.

So Abraham prayed unto Alahiym: and Alahiym healed Abimelek, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.

For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelek, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
