Genesis 20:8-13
8So AbimelechH40 aroseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 and calledH7121 allH3605 his servantsH5650 and toldH1696 allH3605 theseH428 thingsH1697 in their hearingH241; and the menH376 were greatlyH3966 frightenedH3372.
91Then AbimelechH40 calledH7121 AbrahamH85 and saidH559 to him, “WhatH4100 have you doneH6213 to us? And 2howH4100 have I sinnedH2398 against you, that you have broughtH935 on me and on my kingdomH4467 3a greatH1419 sinH2401? You have doneH6213 to me 4thingsH4639 that ought not to be doneH6213.”
10And AbimelechH40 saidH559 to AbrahamH85, “WhatH4100 have you 5encounteredH7200, that you have doneH6213 thisH2088 thingH1697?”
11AbrahamH85 saidH559, “BecauseH3588 I thoughtH559, surelyH7534 thereH369 is noH369 6fearH3374 of GodH430 in thisH2088 placeH4725, and 7they will killH2026 me becauseH5921H1697 of my wifeH802.
12BesidesH1571, she actuallyH546 is my sisterH269, the daughterH1323 of my fatherH1, but not the daughterH1323 of my motherH517, and she becameH1961 my wifeH802;
13and it cameH1961 about, whenH3512 8GodH430 caused me to wanderH8582 from my father’sH1 houseH1004, that I saidH559 to her, ‘ThisH2088 is 9the kindnessH2617 whichH834 you will showH6213 to me: 10everywhereH413H3605H4725H834H8033 we goH935, 11sayH559 of me, “He is my brotherH251.”’”
