1. Abraham left Hebron and traveled to southern Canaan. He stayed awhile between Kadesh and Shur. Then he moved to Gerar.
2. Abraham told people that his wife Sarah was his sister. Abimelech king of Gerar heard this. So he sent some servants to take her.
3. But one night God spoke to Abimelech in a dream. God said, “You will die. That woman you took is married.”
4. But Abimelech had not slept with Sarah. So he said, “Lord, would you destroy an innocent nation?
5. Abraham himself told me, ‘This woman is my sister.’ And she also said, ‘He is my brother.’ I am innocent. I did not know I was doing anything wrong.”
