Genesis 20:8-13

8Therefore AbimelechH40 rose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and calledH7121 all his servantsH5650, and toldH1696 all these thingsH1697 in their earsH241: and the menH582 were soreH3966 afraidH3372.

9Then AbimelechH40 calledH7121 AbrahamH85, and saidH559 unto him, What hast thou doneH6213 unto us? and what have I offendedH2398 thee, that thou hast broughtH935 on me and on my kingdomH4467 a greatH1419 sinH2401? thou hast doneH6213 deedsH4639 unto me that ought not to be doneH6213.

10And AbimelechH40 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, WhatH4100 sawest thouH7200, that thou hast doneH6213 this thingH1697?

11And AbrahamH85 saidH559, Because I thoughtH559, SurelyH7535 the fearH3374 of GodH430 is not in this placeH4725; and they will slay meH2026 for my wife’sH802 sakeH1697.

12And yet indeedH546 she is my sisterH269; she is the daughterH1323 of my fatherH1, but not the daughterH1323 of my motherH517; and she became my wifeH802.

13And it came to pass, when GodH430 caused me to wanderH8582 from my father’sH1 houseH1004, that I saidH559 unto her, This is thy kindnessH2617 which thou shalt shewH6213 unto me; at every placeH4725 whither we shall comeH935, sayH559 of me, He is my brotherH251.
