Genesis 20:3-7

3One night, howeverH3915, GodH430 cameH935 toH413 AbimelechH40 in a dreamH2472 and toldH559 him, “You are as good as deadH4191 because ofH5921 the womanH802 you have takenH3947, for sheH1931 is a marriedH1166 womanH1167.”

4Now AbimelechH40 had notH3808 goneH7126 near herH413, so he repliedH559, “LordH136, would You destroyH2026 a nationH1471 even thoughH1571 it is innocentH6662? 5Didn’tH3808 Abraham tellH559 me, ‘SheH1931 is my sisterH269’? And sheH1931H1571 herselfH1931 saidH559, ‘HeH1931 is my brotherH251.’ I have doneH6213 thisH2063 in the integrityH8537 of my heartH3824 and the innocenceH5356 of my handsH3709.”

6Then GodH430 saidH559 toH413 Abimelech in the dreamH2472, “YesH1571, IH595 knowH3045 thatH3588 you didH6213 thisH2063 with a clearH8537 conscienceH3824, and so IH595H1571 have keptH2820 youH853 from sinningH2398 against Me. That is whyH5921H3651 I did notH3808 letH5414 you touchH5060 herH413. 7NowH6258 returnH7725 the man’sH376 wifeH802, forH3588 heH1931 is a prophetH5030; he will prayH6419 for youH1157 and you will liveH2421. But ifH518 you do notH369 restore herH7725, be awareH3045 thatH3588 you will surely dieH4191—youH859 and allH3605 who belongH834 to you.”
