Genesis 20:4-7

4Now AbimelechH40 had not comeH7126 nearH7126 her; and he saidH559, “LordH136, 1will You slayH2026 a nationH1471, evenH1571 though 2blamelessH6662? 5Did he not himselfH1931 sayH559 to me, ‘She is my sisterH269’? And she 3herselfH1931 saidH559, ‘He is my brotherH251.’ In 4the integrityH8537 of my heartH3824 and the innocenceH5356 of my 5handsH3709 I have doneH6213 thisH2088.” 6Then GodH430 saidH559 to him in the dreamH2472, “YesH1571, I knowH3045 that in the integrityH8537 of your heartH3824 you have doneH6213 thisH2088, and I alsoH1571 67keptH2820 you from sinningH2398 against Me; thereforeH5921H3651 I did not letH5414 you touchH5060 her. 7NowH6258 therefore, restoreH7725 the man’sH376 wifeH802, for 8he is a prophetH5030, and he will prayH6419 for you and you will liveH2421. But ifH518 you do not restoreH7725 her, knowH3045 that you shall surelyH4191 dieH4191, you and allH3605 whoH834 are yours.”
