Genesis 20:2-8
2And AbrahamH85 saidH559 of SarahH8283 his wifeH802, SheH1931 is my sisterH269: and AbimelechH40 kingH4428 of GerarH1642 sentH7971, and tookH3947 SarahH8283.
3But GodH430 cameH935 to AbimelechH40 in a dreamH2472 of the nightH3915, and saidH559 to him, BeholdH2009, thou art but a deadH4191 manH1167, becauseH5921 of the womanH802 whichH834 thou hast takenH3947; for sheH1931 is a man’sH802 wifeH802.
4NowH1571 AbimelechH40 had notH3808 comeH7126 nearH7126 herH413: and he saidH559, LordH136, wilt thou slayH2026 evenH1571 a righteousH6662 nationH1471?
5SaidH559 he notH3808 himselfH1931 unto meH3808, SheH1931 is my sisterH269? and sheH1931, evenH1571 sheH1931 herselfH1931 saidH559, He is my brotherH251: in the integrityH8537 of my heartH3824 and the innocency of my handsH3709 have I doneH6213 this.
6And GodH430 saidH559 unto him in the dreamH2472, YeaH3588, I knowH3045 that in the integrityH8537 of thy heartH3824 thou hast doneH6213 this, and I also withheldH2820 thee from sinningH2398 againstH5921 meH413: therefore suffered I thee notH3808 to touchH5060 herH413.
7NowH6258 therefore restoreH7725 the man’sH376 wifeH802; for he is a prophetH5030, and he shall prayH6419 for thee, and thou shalt liveH2421: and ifH518 thou restoreH7725 herH3605 notH369, knowH3045 thou that thou shalt surelyH3588 dieH4191, thou, and allH3605 that are thine.
8And AbimelechH40 roseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and calledH7121 allH3605 his servantsH5650, and toldH1696 allH3605 theseH428 things in their earsH241: and the menH376 were sore afraidH3372.
