Genesis 20:2-8

2And AbrahamH85 saidH559 ofH413 SarahH8283 his wifeH802, She is my sisterH269: and AbimelechH40 kingH4428 of GerarH1642 sentH7971, and tookH3947 SarahH8283.

3But GodH430 cameH935 to AbimelechH40 in a dreamH2472 by nightH3915, and saidH559 to him, Behold, thou art but a dead manH4191, on account of the womanH802 whom thou hast takenH3947; for she is a man’sH1167 wifeH1166.1 4But AbimelechH40 had not come nearH7126 her: and he saidH559, LordH136, wilt thou also slayH2026 a righteousH6662 nationH1471? 5SaidH559 he not to 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 to 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 I allowedH5414 thee not to touchH5060 her. 7Now therefore restoreH7725 to the manH376 his wifeH802; for he is a prophetH5030, and he shall prayH6419 for theeH1157, and thou shalt liveH2421: and if thou shalt not restoreH7725 her, knowH3045 thou that thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191, thou, and all that are thine.

8Therefore AbimelechH40 rose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and calledH7121 all his servantsH5650, and toldH1696 all these thingsH1697 in their earsH241: and the menH582 were greatlyH3966 afraidH3372.
