Genesis 20:4-6

4Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, “Lord, 1will You slay a nation, even though 2blameless?

5Did he not himself say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she 3herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ In 4the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my 5hands I have done this.”

6Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also 67kept you from sinning against Me; therefore I did not let you touch her.
