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.'
6 God said to him in the dream, 'Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I didn't allow you to touch her.
7 Now therefore, restore the man's wife. For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you don't restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours.'
