Genesis 20:2-8

2And AbrahamH85 saidH559 of SarahH8283 his wifeH802, She is my sisterH269. And AbimelechH40 the kingH4428 of GerarH1642 sentH7971 and tookH3947 SarahH8283.

3But 1GodH430 cameH935 to AbimelechH40 in a dreamH2472 by nightH3915, and saidH559 to him, Behold, thou art [but] a deadH4191 man, because of the womanH802 that thou hast takenH3947; for she is a man's wifeH802.

4But AbimelechH40 had not come near her. And he saidH559, LordH136, wilt thou alsoH1571 killH2026 a righteousH6662 nationH1471?

5Did he not sayH559 to me, She is my sisterH269? and she, even she saidH559, He is my brotherH251. In the integrityH8537 of my heartH3824 and in the innocency of my handsH3709 have I done this.

6And 2GodH430 saidH559 to him in a dreamH2472, I alsoH1571 knewH3045 that thou didst this in the integrityH8537 of thy heartH3824, and I, too, have withheldH2820 thee from sinningH2398 against me: thereforeH3651 have I not suffered thee to touchH5060 her.

7And nowH6258, restoreH7725 the man's wifeH802; for he is a prophetH5030, and will prayH6419 for thee, that thou mayest liveH2421. And if thou do not restoreH7725 [her], knowH3045 that thou shalt certainly dieH4191, thou and all that is thine.

8And AbimelechH40 roseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and calledH7121 all his servantsH5650, and spokeH1696 all these wordsH1697 in their earsH241; and the menH376 were greatly afraidH3372.
