1 Abraham traveled from there toward the land of the South, and lived between Kadesh and Shur. He lived as a foriegner in Gerar.
2 Abraham said about Sarah his wife, 'She is my sister.' Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, 'Behold, you are a dead man, because of the woman whom you have taken. For she is a man's wife.'
4 Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, 'Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation?
5 Didn't he tell me, 'She is my sister?' She, even she herself said, 'He is my brother.' In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands have I done this.'
