10 Then Abimelech said to Abraham, “What did you have in
view, that you have done this thing?”
11 And Abraham said, “Because I thought, surely the fear of
God is not in this place; and they will kill me on account of my wife.
12 “But indeed she is truly 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 your kindness that
you should do for me: in every place, wherever we go, ay of me, “He is my
brother.”’”
14 Then Abimelech took sheep, oxen, and male and female
servants, and gave them to Abraham’ and he restored Sarah his wife to him.
15 And Abimelech said, “See, my land is before you; dwell
where it pleases you.”
16 Then to Sarah he said, “Behold, I have given your brother
a thousand pieces of silver; indeed this vindicates you before all who are with
you and before everybody.” Thus she was
rebuked.
17 So Abraham prayed to God; and God healed Abimelech, his
wife, and his female servants. Then they
bore children;
18 For the Lord had closed up all the wombs of the house of
Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.
