| 1 | Abraham journeyed from there toward the land of the South, and lived between Kadesh and Shur. He sojourned in Gerar. | Gn 13:1 Gn 18:1 Gn 24:62 |
| 2 | Abraham said about Sarah his wife, "She is my sister." Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. | Gn 12:11-13 Gn 26:7 2Ch 19:2 2Ch 20:37 2Ch 32:31 Pr 24:16 Ec 7:20 Ga 2:11 Ga 2:12 Eph 4:25 Col 3:9 |
| 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." | Gn 28:12 Gn 31:24 Gn 37:5 Gn 37:9 Gn 40:8 Gn 41:1-36 Jb 4:12 Jb 4:13 Jb 33:15 Mt 1:20 Mt 2:12 Mt 2:13 Mt 27:19 |
| 4 | Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, "Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation? | Gn 20:6 Gn 20:18 |
| 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." | Jsh 22:22 1Ki 9:4 2Ki 20:3 1Ch 29:17 Ps 7:8 Ps 25:21 Ps 78:72 Pr 11:3 Pr 20:7 2Co 1:12 1Th 2:10 1Ti 1:13 |
| 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. | Gn 20:18 Gn 31:7 Gn 35:5 Ex 34:24 1Sa 25:26 1Sa 25:34 Ps 84:11 Pr 21:1 Hos 2:6 Hos 2:7 |
| 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. | 1Ki 18:1-46 1Co 14:4 Ex 4:16 Ex 7:1 Ex 12:1-3 Ex 18:17 Ex 7:1 1Ch 16:22 Ps 25:14 Ps 105:9-15 Heb 1:1 |
| 8 | Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. The men were very scared. |
| 9 | Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, "What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to me that ought not to be done!" | Gn 12:18 Gn 26:10 Ex 32:21 Ex 32:35 Jsh 7:25 1Sa 26:18 1Sa 26:19 Pr 28:10 |
| 10 | Abimelech said to Abraham, "What did you see, that you have done this thing?" |
| 11 | Abraham said, "Because I thought, `Surely the fear of God is not in this place. They will kill me for my wife`s sake.` | Gn 22:12 Gn 42:18 Ne 5:15 Jb 1:1 Jb 28:28 Ps 14:4 Ps 36:1-4 Pr 1:7 Pr 2:5 Pr 8:13 Pr 16:6 Ro 3:18 |
| 12 | Moreover she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife. | Gn 11:29 Gn 12:13 1Th 5:22 |
| 13 | It happened, when God caused me to wander from my father`s house, that I said to her, `This is your kindness which you shall show to me. Everywhere that we go, say of me, "He is my brother."`" | Gn 12:1 Gn 12:9 Gn 12:11-20 Ac 7:3-5 Heb 11:8 |
| 14 | Abimelech took sheep and oxen, men-servants and women-servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife to him. | Gn 20:11 Gn 12:16 |
| 15 | Abimelech said, "Behold, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you." | Gn 13:9 Gn 34:10 Gn 47:6 |
| 16 | To Sarah he said, "Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes to all that are with you. In front of all you are vindicated." | Gn 20:5 Pr 27:5 |
| 17 | Abraham prayed to God. God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants, and they bore children. | Gn 20:7 Gn 29:31 1Sa 5:11 1Sa 5:12 Ezr 6:10 Jb 42:9 Jb 42:10 Pr 15:8 Pr 15:29 Isa 45:11 Mt 7:7 Mt 21:22 Ac 3:24 Php 4:6 1Th 5:25 Jm 5:16 |
| 18 | For Yahweh had closed up tight all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham`s wife. | Gn 20:7 Gn 12:17 Gn 16:2 Gn 30:2 1Sa 1:6 1Sa 5:10 |
