1. And Abraham journeyed from there toward the land of the Negev and dwelt between Kadesh 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 a dead man, for 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 slay also a righteous person?
5. Did he not say unto me, She is my sister? And she, even she herself said, He is my brother; in the simplicity of my heart and cleanness of my hands I have done this.
