Genesis 20:11-18 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

11. And Abraham said, Because I said, Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they will kill me for my wife's sake.

12. But she is also truly my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.

13. And it came to pass when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, Let this be thy kindness which thou shalt shew to me: at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.

14. And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and bondmen and bondwomen, and gave them to Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.

15. And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it is good in thine eyes.

16. And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver; behold, let that be to thee a covering of the eyes, in respect of all that are with thee, and with all; and she was reproved.

17. And Abraham prayed to God and God healed Abimelech, and his wife and his handmaids, and they bore children.

18. For Jehovah had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
