Genesis 20:11–18

11 And Abraham said, “Because I thought, surely rthe fear of God is not in this place; and sthey will kill me on account of my wife. 12 But indeed tshe is truly my sister. She is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife. 13 And it came to pass, when uGod caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said to her, ‘This is your kindness that you should do for me: in every place, wherever we go, vsay of me, “He is my brother.” ’ ”

14 Then Abimelech wtook sheep, oxen, and male and female servants, and gave them to Abraham; and he restored Sarah his wife to him. 15 And Abimelech said, “See, xmy land is before you; dwell where it pleases you.” 16 Then to Sarah he said, “Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver; yindeed this 4vindicates you zbefore all who are with you and before everybody.” Thus she was 5rebuked.

17 So Abraham aprayed to God; and God bhealed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants. Then they bore children; 18 for the Lord chad closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.
