Genesis 20:1–8

^*And Abraham journeyed from ^athence toward the south country, and dwelled between ^bKadesh and Shur, and ^csojourned in ^dGerar. ²And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, ^eShe is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. ³But ^fGod came to Abimelech ^gin a dream by night, and said to him, ^hBehold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is ^†a man’s wife. ⁴But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, ⁱwilt thou slay also a righteous nation? ⁵Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the ^||integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this. ⁶And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning ^kagainst me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her. ⁷Now therefore restore the man his wife; ^lfor 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, ^mand all that are thine. ⁸Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.
