=U2= 20,1-18 -- Abraham in Gerar
--
=S=> Gen 20,1 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the land of the South , and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur . And he sojourned in Gerar .
=S=> Gen 20,2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife , She is my sister . And Abimelech king of Gerar sent , and took Sarah .
=S=> Gen 20,3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night , and said to him , Behold , thou art but a dead man , because of the woman whom thou hast taken . For she is a man's wife .
=S=> Gen 20,4 Now Abimelech had not come near her . And he said , Lord , wilt thou slay even a righteous nation ?
=S=> Gen 20,5 Said he not himself unto me , She is my sister ? And she , even she herself said , He is my brother . In the integrity of my heart and the innocency of my hands have I done this .
=S=> Gen 20,6 And God said unto him in the dream , Yea , I know that in the integrity of thy heart thou has done this , and I also withheld thee from sinning against me . Therefore suffered I thee not to touch her .
=S=> Gen 20,7 Now therefore restore the man's wife . For he is a prophet , and he shall pray for thee , and thou shalt live . And if thou restore her not , know thou that thou shalt surely die , thou , and all that are thine .
=S=> Gen 20,8 And Abimelech rose early in the morning , and called all his servants , and told all these things in their ear . And the men were sore afraid .
=S=> Gen 20,9 Then Abimelech called Abraham , and said unto him , What hast thou done unto us ? And wherein have I sinned against thee , that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin ? Thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done .
=S=> Gen 20,10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham , What sawest thou , that thou hast done this thing ?
=S=> Gen 20,11 And Abraham said , Because I thought , Surely the fear of God is not in this place . And they will slay me for my wife's sake .
=S=> Gen 20,12 And moreover she is indeed my sister , the daughter of my father , but not the daughter of my mother ; and she became my wife :
=S=> Gen 20,13 nd it came to pass , when God caused me to wander from my father's house , that I said unto her , This is thy kindness which thou shalt show unto me . At every place whither we shall come , say of me , He is my brother .
=S=> Gen 20,14 And Abimelech took sheep and oxen , and men-servants and women-servants , and gave them unto Abraham , and restored him Sarah his wife .
=S=> Gen 20,15 And Abimelech said , Behold , my land is before thee . Dwell where it pleaseth thee .
=S=> Gen 20,16 And unto Sarah he said , Behold , I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver . Behold , it is for thee a covering of the eyes to all that are with thee . And in respect of all thou art righted .
=S=> Gen 20,17 And Abraham prayed unto God . And God healed Abimelech , and his wife , and his maid-servants . And they bare children .
=S=> Gen 20,18 For Jehovah had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech , because of Sarah , Abraham's wife .
