Genesis 20:9-16

9And AbimelechH40 calledH7121 AbrahamH85 and saidH559 to him, What hast thou done to us? And in what have I sinnedH2398 against thee, that thou hast broughtH935 on me, and on my kingdomH4467, a greatH1419 sinH2398? Thou hast done to me deedsH4639 that ought not to be done.

10And AbimelechH40 saidH559 to AbrahamH85, What hast thou seenH7200 that thou hast done this?

11And AbrahamH85 saidH559, Because I saidH559, Surely the fearH3374 of 1GodH430 is not in this placeH4725, and they will killH2026 me for my wife's sake.

12But she is alsoH1571 truly my sisterH269, the daughterH1323 of my fatherH1, but not the daughterH1323 of my motherH517; and she becameH1961 my wifeH802.

13And it cameH935 to pass when 2GodH430 caused me to wanderH8582 from my father's houseH1004, that I saidH559 to her, Let this beH1961 thy kindness which thou shalt shew to me: at every placeH4725 whither we shall comeH935, sayH559 of me, He is my brotherH251.

14And AbimelechH40 tookH3947 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241, and bondmen and bondwomen, and gaveH5414 [them] to AbrahamH85, and restoredH7725 him SarahH8283 his wifeH802.

15And AbimelechH40 saidH559, Behold, my landH776 is before thee: dwellH3427 where it is goodH2896 in thine eyesH5869.

16And to SarahH8283 he saidH559, Behold, I have givenH5414 thy brotherH251 a thousandH505 [pieces] of silverH3701; behold, let that be to thee a coveringH3682 of the eyesH5869, in respect of all that are with thee, and with all; and she was reprovedH3198.
