Bereshis 20:10-16 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

10. And Avimelech said unto Avraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?

11. And Avraham said, Because I thought, Surely the yirat Elohim is not in this place; and they will slay me on account of my isha.

12. And yet indeed she is my achot; she is the bat avi, but not the bat immi; and she became my isha.

13. And it came to pass, when Elohim caused me to wander from my bais avi, that I said unto her, This is thy chesed which thou shalt show unto me; at every place where we shall come, say of me, He is achi.

14. And Avimelech took tzon, and oxen, and avadim, and shfachot, and gave them unto Avraham, and restored to him Sarah his isha.

15. And Avimelech said, Hinei, my land is before thee; dwell where it pleaseth thee.

16. And unto Sarah he said, Hinei, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of kesef; hinei, it is to thee a kesut einayim (covering of the eyes, exoneration), unto all that are with thee, and with all other; thus she was vindicated.
