|
|
5. And did he not say to me, She is my sister? And she, even she herself said, He is my brother. In the honor of my heart and the purity of my hands I have done this.

5. Said H559 he H1931 not H3808 unto me, She H1931 is my sister H269 ? and she H1931 , even H1571 she herself H1931 said H559 , He H1931 is my brother H251 : in the integrity H8537 of my heart H3824 and innocency H5356 of my hands H3709 have I done H6213 this H2063 .
|
|
6. And God said to him in a dream, Yes, I know that you did this in the honor of your heart, and I also withheld you from sinning against Me. On account of this I did not allow you to touch her.

|
7. And now return the wife of the man, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you shall live. And if you do not return her, know that dying you shall die, you and all that are yours.
|
7. Now H6258 therefore restore H7725 the man H376 his wife H802 ; for H3588 he H1931 is a prophet H5030 , and he shall pray H6419 for H1157 thee , and thou shalt live H2421 : and if H518 thou restore H7725 her not H369 , know H3045 thou that H3588 thou shalt surely die H4191 H4191 , thou H859 , and all H3605 that H834 are thine.

|
|
9. And Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, What have you done to us? And in what have I offended you that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done things to me that ought not to be done.
|
9. Then Abimelech H40 called H7121 Abraham H85 , and said H559 unto him, What H4100 hast thou done H6213 unto us? and what H4100 have I offended H2398 thee, that H3588 thou hast brought H935 on H5921 me and on H5921 my kingdom H4467 a great H1419 sin H2401 ? thou hast done H6213 deeds H4639 unto H5973 me that H834 ought not H3808 to be done H6213 .
|
|
10. And Abimelech said to Abraham, What did you see that you have done this thing?
|
10. And Abimelech H40 said H559 unto H413 Abraham H85 , What H4100 sawest H7200 thou, that H3588 thou hast done H6213 H853 this H2088 thing H1697 ?
|
|
11. And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they will kill me for my wife's sake.

|
|
12. And yet she really is my sister, daughter of my father; only not daughter of my mother. And she became my wife.
|
12. And yet H1571 indeed H546 she is my sister H269 ; she H1931 is the daughter H1323 of my father H1 , but H389 not H3808 the daughter H1323 of my mother H517 ; and she became H1961 my wife H802 .
|
|
13. And it happened when God made me wander from my father's house, even I said to her, This is your kindness which you do to me: at every place where we come there, say of me, He is my brother.
|
13. And it came to pass H1961 , when H834 God H430 caused me to wander H8582 from my father's house H4480 H1004 H1 , that I said H559 unto her, This H2088 is thy kindness H2617 which H834 thou shalt show H6213 unto H5973 me; at H413 every H3605 place H4725 whither H834 H8033 we shall come H935 , say H559 of me, He H1931 is my brother H251 .

|
|
15. Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before you. Live where it pleases you.
|
15. And Abimelech H40 said H559 , Behold H2009 , my land H776 is before H6440 thee: dwell H3427 where it pleaseth H2896 H5869 thee.
|
|
16. And he said to Sarah, I, behold, I have given a thousand of silver to your brother. Behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes to all who are with you. And with all this you are reproved.
|
16. And unto Sarah H8283 he said H559 , Behold H2009 , I have given H5414 thy brother H251 a thousand H505 pieces of silver H3701 : behold H2009 , he H1931 is to thee a covering H3682 of the eyes H5869 , unto all H3605 that H834 are with H854 thee , and with H854 all H3605 other : thus she was reproved H3198 .
|
|
17. And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his concubines, and they gave birth.
|

|
|
18. For Jehovah had completely closed up every womb of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, the wife of Abraham.
|
18. For H3588 the LORD H3068 had fast closed up H6113 H6113 H1157 all H3605 the wombs H7358 of the house H1004 of Abimelech H40 , because H5921 H1697 of Sarah H8283 Abraham H85 's wife H802 .
