Genesis 20:1-18

20:1

And Abraham
<085>

journeyed
<05265> (8799)

from thence toward the south
<05045>

country
<0776>_,

and dwelled
<03427> (8799)

between Kadesh
<06946>

and Shur
<07793>_,

and sojourned
<01481> (8799)

in Gerar
<01642>_.

20:2

And Abraham
<085>

said
<0559> (8799)

of
<0413>

Sarah
<08283>

his wife
<0802>_,

She [is] my sister
<0269>_:

and Abimelech
<040>

king
<04428>

of Gerar
<01642>

sent
<07971> (8799)_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

Sarah
<08283>_.

20:3

But God
<0430>

came
<0935> (8799)

to Abimelech
<040>

in a dream
<02472>

by night
<03915>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

to him, Behold, thou [art but] a dead man
<04191> (8801)_,

for the woman
<0802>

which thou hast taken
<03947> (8804)_;

for she [is] a man's
<01167>

wife
<01166> (8803)_.

{a man's...: Heb. married to an husband}

20:4

But Abimelech
<040>

had not come near
<07126> (8804)

her: and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Lord
<0136>_,

wilt thou slay
<02026> (8799)

also a righteous
<06662>

nation
<01471>_?

20:5

Said
<0559> (8804)

he not unto me, She
<01931>

[is] my sister
<0269>_?

and she
<01931>_,

even
<01571>

she
<01931>

herself said
<0559> (8804)_,

He [is] my brother
<0251>_:

in the integrity
<08537>

of my heart
<03824>

and innocency
<05356>

of my hands
<03709>

have I done
<06213> (8804)

this. {integrity: or, simplicity, or, sincerity}

20:6

And God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him in a dream
<02472>_,

Yea
<01571>_,

I know
<03045> (8804)

that thou didst
<06213> (8804)

this in the integrity
<08537>

of thy heart
<03824>_;

for I also withheld
<02820> (8799)

thee from sinning
<02398> (8800)

against me: therefore suffered
<05414> (8804)

I thee not to touch
<05060> (8800)

her.

20:7

Now therefore restore
<07725> (8685)

the man
<0376>

[his] wife
<0802>_;

for he [is] a prophet
<05030>_,

and he shall pray
<06419> (8691)

for thee
<01157>_,

and thou shalt live
<02421> (8798)_:

and if thou restore
<07725> (8688)

[her] not, know
<03045> (8798)

thou that thou shalt surely
<04191> (8800)

die
<04191> (8799)_,

thou, and all that [are] thine.

20:8

Therefore Abimelech
<040>

rose early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

all his servants
<05650>_,

and told
<01696> (8762)

all these things
<01697>

in their ears
<0241>_:

and the men
<0582>

were sore
<03966>

afraid
<03372> (8799)_.

20:9

Then Abimelech
<040>

called
<07121> (8799)

Abraham
<085>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, What hast thou done
<06213> (8804)

unto us? and what have I offended
<02398> (8804)

thee, that thou hast brought
<0935> (8689)

on me and on my kingdom
<04467>

a great
<01419>

sin
<02401>_?

thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

deeds
<04639>

unto me that ought not to be done
<06213> (8735)_.

20:10

And Abimelech
<040>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abraham
<085>_,

What
<04100>

sawest thou
<07200> (8804)_,

that thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

this thing
<01697>_?

20:11

And Abraham
<085>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Because I thought
<0559> (8804)_,

Surely
<07535>

the fear
<03374>

of God
<0430>

[is] not in this place
<04725>_;

and they will slay me
<02026> (8804)

for my wife's
<0802>

sake
<01697>_.

20:12

And yet indeed
<0546>

[she is] my sister
<0269>_;

she [is] the daughter
<01323>

of my father
<01>_,

but not the daughter
<01323>

of my mother
<0517>_;

and she became my wife
<0802>_.

20:13

And it came to pass, when God
<0430>

caused me to wander
<08582> (8689)

from my father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

that I said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, This [is] thy kindness
<02617>

which thou shalt shew
<06213> (8799)

unto me; at every place
<04725>

whither we shall come
<0935> (8799)_,

say
<0559> (8798)

of me, He [is] my brother
<0251>_.

20:14

And Abimelech
<040>

took
<03947> (8799)

sheep
<06629>_,

and oxen
<01241>_,

and menservants
<05650>_,

and womenservants
<08198>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

[them] unto Abraham
<085>_,

and restored
<07725> (8686)

him Sarah
<08283>

his wife
<0802>_.

20:15

And Abimelech
<040>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, my land
<0776>

[is] before thee
<06440>_:

dwell
<03427> (8798)

where it pleaseth
<02896> <05869>

thee. {where...: Heb. as is good in thine eyes}

20:16

And unto Sarah
<08283>

he said
<0559> (8804)_,

Behold, I have given
<05414> (8804)

thy brother
<0251>

a thousand
<0505>

[pieces] of silver
<03701>_:

behold, he [is] to thee a covering
<03682>

of the eyes
<05869>_,

unto all that [are] with thee, and with all [other]: thus she was reproved
<03198> (8737)_.

20:17

So Abraham
<085>

prayed
<06419> (8691)

unto God
<0430>_:

and God
<0430>

healed
<07495> (8799)

Abimelech
<040>_,

and his wife
<0802>_,

and his maidservants
<0519>_;

and they bare
<03205> (8799)

[children].

20:18

For the LORD
<03068>

had fast
<06113> (8800)

closed up
<06113> (8804)

all the wombs
<07358>

of the house
<01004>

of Abimelech
<040>_,

because
<01697>

of Sarah
<08283>

Abraham's
<085>

wife
<0802>_.

Genesis 18:25

18:25

That be far
<02486>

from thee to do
<06213> (8800)

after this manner
<01697>_,

to slay
<04191> (8687)

the righteous
<06662>

with the wicked
<07563>_:

and that the righteous
<06662>

should be as the wicked
<07563>_,

that be far
<02486>

from thee: Shall not the Judge
<08199> (8802)

of all the earth
<0776>

do
<06213> (8799)

right
<04941>_?

Genesis 18:29

18:29

And he spake
<01696> (8763)

unto him yet again
<03254> (8686)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Peradventure there shall be forty
<0705>

found
<04672> (8735)

there. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will not do
<06213> (8799)

[it] for forty's
<0705>

sake.

Job 35:2

35:2

Thinkest
<02803> (8804)

thou this to be right
<04941>_,

[that] thou saidst
<0559> (8804)_,

My righteousness
<06664>

[is] more than God's
<0410>_?

Job 40:8

40:8

Wilt thou also disannul
<06565> (8686)

my judgment
<04941>_?

wilt thou condemn
<07561> (8686)

me, that thou mayest be righteous
<06663> (8799)_?

Matthew 25:24-26

25:24

Then
<1161> <2532>

he which had received
<2983> (5761)

the one
<1520>

talent
<5007>

came
<4334> (5631)

and said
<2036> (5627)_,

Lord
<2962>_,

I knew
<1097> (5627)

thee
<4571>

that
<3754>

thou art
<1488> (5748)

an hard
<4642>

man
<444>_,

reaping
<2325> (5723)

where
<3699>

thou hast
<4687> (0)

not
<3756>

sown
<4687> (5656)_,

and
<2532>

gathering
<4863> (5723)

where
<3606>

thou hast
<1287> (0)

not
<3756>

strawed
<1287> (5656)_:

25:25

And
<2532>

I was afraid
<5399> (5679)_,

and went
<565> (5631)

and hid
<2928> (5656)

thy
<4675>

talent
<5007>

in
<1722>

the earth
<1093>_:

lo
<2396>_,

[there] thou hast
<2192> (5719)

[that is] thine
<4674>_.

25:26

<1161>@ His
<846>

lord
<2962>

answered
<611> (5679)

and said
<2036> (5627)

unto him
<846>_,

[Thou] wicked
<4190>

and
<2532>

slothful
<3636>

servant
<1401>_,

thou knewest
<1492> (5715)

that
<3754>

I reap
<2325> (5719)

where
<3699>

I sowed
<4687> (5656)

not
<3756>_,

and
<2532>

gather

where
<3606>

I have
<1287> (0)

not
<3756>

strawed
<1287> (5656)_:

Luke 19:21-22

19:21

For
<1063>

I feared
<5399> (5711)

thee
<4571>_,

because
<3754>

thou art
<1488> (5748)

an austere
<840>

man
<444>_:

thou takest up
<142> (5719)

that
<3739>

thou layedst
<5087> (0)

not
<3756>

down
<5087> (5656)_,

and
<2532>

reapest
<2325> (5719)

that
<3739>

thou didst
<4687> (0)

not
<3756>

sow
<4687> (5656)_.

19:22

And
<1161>

he saith
<3004> (5719)

unto him
<846>_,

Out of
<1537>

thine own
<4675>

mouth
<4750>

will I judge
<2919> (5692)

thee
<4571>_,

[thou] wicked
<4190>

servant
<1401>_.

Thou knewest
<1492> (5715)

that
<3754>

I
<1473>

was
<1510> (5748)

an austere
<840>

man
<444>_,

taking up
<142> (5723)

that

down

I did
