Genesis 20:3-7

3But GodH430 cameH935 to AbimelechH40 in a dreamH2472 by nightH3915, and saidH559 to him, Behold, thou art but a dead manH4191, for the womanH802 which thou hast takenH3947; for she is a man’sH1167 wifeH1166.1

4But AbimelechH40 had not come nearH7126 her: and he saidH559, LordH136, wilt thou slayH2026 also a righteousH6662 nationH1471?

5SaidH559 he not unto me, SheH1931 is my sisterH269? and sheH1931, evenH1571 sheH1931 herself saidH559, He is my brotherH251: in the integrityH8537 of my heartH3824 and innocencyH5356 of my handsH3709 have I doneH6213 this.2

6And GodH430 saidH559 unto him in a dreamH2472, YeaH1571, I knowH3045 that thou didstH6213 this in the integrityH8537 of thy heartH3824; for I also withheldH2820 thee from sinningH2398 against me: therefore sufferedH5414 I thee not to touchH5060 her.

7Now therefore restoreH7725 the manH376 his wifeH802; for he is a prophetH5030, and he shall prayH6419 for theeH1157, and thou shalt liveH2421: and if thou restoreH7725 her not, knowH3045 thou that thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191, thou, and all that are thine.
