Genesis 20:9-17 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

9. Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, What has thou done to us? and in what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds to me that ought not to be done.

10. And Abimelech said to Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?

11. And Abraham said, Because I thought, surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.

12. And yet indeed she is my sister: she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.

13. And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt show to me; At every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.

14. And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and men-servants, and women-servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored to him Sarah his wife.

15. And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.

16. And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, to all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.

17. So Abraham prayed to God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants, and they bore children.
