New Testament

Genesis 20:12-16 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

12. And it is true that she is my sister. She is the daughter of my father. But she is not the daughter of my mother.

13. God told me to leave my father’s house and wander in many different places. When that happened, I told Sarah, ‘You must do a special favor for me. Everywhere we go tell people I am your brother.’”

14. Then Abimelech gave Abraham some sheep, cattle and male and female slaves. Abimelech also gave Sarah, his wife, back to him.

15. And Abimelech said, “Look around you at my land. You may live anywhere you want.”

16. Abimelech said to Sarah, “I gave your brother Abraham 25 pounds of silver. I did this to make up for any wrong that people may think about you. I want everyone to know that you are innocent.”
