Genesis 20:3-5

31But GodH430 cameH935 to AbimelechH40 in a dreamH2472 of the nightH3915, and saidH559 to him, “BeholdH2009, 2you are a deadH4191 man becauseH5921 of the womanH802 whomH834 you have takenH3947, for she is 3marriedH1167H1166.”

4Now AbimelechH40 had not comeH7126 nearH7126 her; and he saidH559, “LordH136, 4will You killH2026 a nationH1471, evenH1571 though 5blamelessH6662?

5Did he himselfH1931 not sayH559 to me, ‘She is my sisterH269’? And she 6herselfH1931 saidH559, ‘He is my brotherH251.’ In 7the integrityH8537 of my heartH3824 and the innocenceH5356 of my 8handsH3709 I have doneH6213 thisH2088.”
