1. And Abraham journeyed from thence towards the south country, and dwelt between Kadash and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
2. And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, she is my sister: And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
3. But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, on account of the woman whom thou hast taken: for she is a man's wife.
4. But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou also slay a righteous nation?
5. Said he not to me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart, and innocence of my hands have I done this.
