Genesis 20:12-18 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

12. And besides, she really is my sister. She’s my father’s daughter, though not my mother’s daughter. Then she became my wife.

13. So when God made me wander away from my father’s house, I said to her, ‘This is your loyalty that you must show me: in every place we go, say of me, ‘He is my brother.’”

14. Then Abimelech took sheep, cattle, male slaves and female slaves and gave them to Abraham, and returned his wife Sarah to him.

15. Then Abimelech said, “Look, my land is before you. Dwell wherever it pleases you.”

16. At the same time he said to Sarah, “Look, I’ve given a thousand shekels to your brother. Look, it is compensation for everything that happened—so to everyone with you, you are vindicated.”

17. Then Abraham prayed to God and God healed Abimelech, his wife and his female slaves so that they could bear children.

18. For Adonai had completely locked up every womb in Abimelech’s household because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.
