10. And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What did you see, that you did this thing?”
11. Abraham said, “I did it because I thought, ‘There is no fear of God at all in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.’
12. Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father though not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife.
13. And when God caused me to wander from my father’s house, I said to her, ‘This is the kindness you must do me: at every place to which we come, say of me, “He is my brother.”’”
14. Then Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and returned Sarah his wife to him.
15. And Abimelech said, “Behold, my land is before you; dwell where it pleases you.”
16. To Sarah he said, “Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. It is a sign of your innocence in the eyes of all who are with you, and before everyone you are vindicated.”
17. Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and also healed his wife and female slaves so that they bore children.
18. For the Lord had closed all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.
