1: And journeyedH5265 from thereH8033 Abraham,H0085 toH0776 the Negev,H5045 and he dweltH3427 betweenH0996 KadeshH6946 andH0996 Shur,H7793 and stayedH1481 in Gerar.H1642

2: And saidH0559 AbrahamH0085 ofH0413 SarahH8283 his wife,H0802 my sisterH0269 she [is].H1931 And sentH7971 Abimelech,H0040 kingH4428 of Gerar,H1642 and tookH3947 -H0853 Sarah.H8283

3: But cameH0935 GodH0430 toH0413 AbimelechH0040 in a dreamH2472 by night,H3915 and saidH0559 behold,H2009 you are as good as dead,H4191 becauseH5921 of the womanH0802 whomH0834 you have taken-H3947 for she [is]H1931 is marriedH1166 to a man.H1167

4: But AbimelechH0040 notH3808 had comeH7126 near her,H0413 and he said,H0559 Lord,H0136 will a nationH1471 alsoH1571 righteousH6662 You slay?H2026

5: did not,H3808 heH1931 sayH0559 my sisterH0269 she [is]?H1931 and she,H1931 evenH1571 herselfH1931 said,H0559 my brotherH0251 He [is]?H1931 in the integrityH8537 of my heartH3824 and innocenceH5356 of my handsH3709 have I doneH6213 this.H2063

6: And saidH0559 to himH0413 GodH0430 in a dream,H2472 Yes,H1571 IH0595 knowH3045 thatH3588 in the integrityH8537 of your heart,H3824 you didH6213 this-H2063 for withheldH2820 alsoH1571 IH0595 youH0853 from sinning,H2398 uponH5921 thus,H3651 notH3808 I did let youH5414 touchH5060 her.H0413

7: NowH6258 restoreH7725 wifeH0802 the man's,H0376 forH3588 a prophetH5030 he [is],H1931 and he will prayH6419 for youH1157 and you shall live.H2421 But ifH0518 notH0369 you do restore [her],H7725 knowH3045 thatH3588 surelyH4191 you shall die,H4191 youH0859 and allH3605 who [are]H0834

8: So rose earlyH7925 AbimelechH0040 in the morning,H1242 and calledH7121 allH3605 his servants,H5650 and he toldH1696 -H0853 allH3605 thingsH1697 theseH0428 in their hearing-H0241 and were afraidH3372 the menH0376 very much.H3966

9: And calledH7121 AbimelechH0040 Abraham,H0085 and saidH0559 whatH4100 have you doneH6213 and howH4100 have I offendedH2398 thatH3588 you have broughtH0935 on meH5921 and onH5921 my kingdomH4467 a sinH2401 great?H1419 deedsH4639 thatH0834 notH3808 ought to be doneH6213 You have doneH6213 to me.H5978

10: And saidH0559 AbimelechH0040 toH0413 Abraham,H0085 whatH4100 did you see,H7200 thatH3588 you have doneH6213 -H0853 the thingH1697 this?H2088

11: and said,H0559 AbrahamH0085 becauseH3588 I thought,H0559 surelyH7535 [is] notH0369 the fearH3374 of GodH0430 in placeH4725 this-H2088 and they will kill meH2026 onH5921 accountH1697 of my wife.H0802

12: But trulyH1571 indeedH0546 my sister-H0269 the daughterH1323 of my father,H0001 she [is]H1931 butH0389 notH3808 the daughterH1323 of my mother-H0517 And she becameH1961 wife.H0802

13: And it came to pass,H1961 whenH0834 caused to wanderH8582 meH0853 GodH0430 from the houseH1004 of my father,H0001 that I saidH0559 this [is]H2088 your kindnessH2617 thatH0834 you should doH6213 for me:H5978 inH0413 everyH3605 placeH4725 whereverH0834 we go,H0935 thereH8033 say,H0559 my brotherH0251 [is] he.H1931

14: And tookH3947 AbimelechH0040 sheep ,H6629 and oxen ,H1241 and menservants,H5650 and maidservants,H8198 and he gave [them]H5414 to Abraham,H0085 and restoredH7725 -H0853 SarahH8283 his wife.H0802

15: And saidH0559 Abimelech,H0040 See,H2009 my land [is]H0776 before youH6440 whereH2896 it pleases youH5869 dwell.H3427

16: And to SarahH8283 he said,H0559 behold,H2009 I have givenH5414 a thousand [pieces]H0505 of silver-H3701 unto your brotherH0251 indeed,H2009 itH1931 [is] a coveringH3682 of the eyes,H5869 to allH3605 whoH0834 [are] with youH0854 and beforeH0854 everybody-H3605 thus she was vindicated.H3198

17: So prayedH6419 AbrahamH0085 toH0413 God,H0430 and healedH7495 GodH0430 -H0853 Abimelech,H0040 andH0853 his wife,H0802 and his maidservants-H0519 and they could bear children.H3205
