Genesis 20:12-17 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

12. Besides, she really is my sister. She's the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother. And she became my wife.

13. "God had me wander away from my father's house. So I said to her, 'Here is how you can show your love to me. Everywhere we go, say about me, "He's my brother." ' "

14. Then Abimelech gave Abraham sheep and cattle and male and female slaves. He also returned his wife Sarah to him.

15. Abimelech said, "Here is my land. Live anywhere you want to."

16. He said to Sarah, "I'm giving your brother 25 pounds of silver. It will take care of the problem we caused you. And all those who are with you will know that you aren't guilty of doing anything wrong."

17. Then Abraham prayed to God. And God healed Abimelech. He also healed his wife and his female slaves so they could have children again.
