Abraham’s Treachery

1 Now Abraham° journeyed° from athere° toward the land° of bthe INegev°, and IIsettled° between° Kadesh° and Shur°; then he sojourned° in cGerar°. 2 Abraham° said° of Sarah° his wife°, “aShe is my sister°.” So bAbimelech° king° of Gerar° sent° and took° Sarah°. 3 aBut God° came° to Abimelech° in a dream° of the night°, and said° to him, “Behold°, byou are a dead° man because° of the woman° whom° you have taken°, for she is Imarried°°.” 4 Now Abimelech° had not come° near° her; and he said°, “Lord°, awill You slay° a nation°, even° [though] Iblameless°? 5 Did he not himself° say° to me, ‘She is my sister°’? And she aherself° said°, ‘He is my brother°.’ In bthe integrity° of my heart° and the innocence° of my Ihands° I have done° this°.” 6 Then God° said° to him in the dream°, “Yes°, I know° that in the integrity° of your heart° you have done° this°, and I also° I akept° you from sinning° against Me; therefore°° I did not let° you touch° her. 7 Now° therefore, restore° the man’s° wife°, for ahe is a prophet°, and he will pray° for you and you will live°. But if° you do not restore° [her], know° that you shall surely° die°, you and all° who° are yours.”
