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>_.

And Abraham
<085>

gat up early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>

to the place
<04725>

where he stood
<05975> (8804)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_:

Genesis 19:1

19:1

And there came
<0935> (8799)

two
<08147>

angels
<04397>

to Sodom
<05467>

at even
<06153>_;

and Lot
<03876>

sat
<03427> (8802)

in the gate
<08179>

of Sodom
<05467>_:

and Lot
<03876>

seeing
<07200> (8799)

[them] rose up
<06965> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

them; and he bowed
<07812> (8691)

himself with his face
<0639>

toward the ground
<0776>_;

29:9

And while he yet
<05750>

spake
<01696> (8764)

with them, Rachel
<07354>

came
<0935> (8804)

with her father's
<01>

sheep
<06629>_:

for she kept them
<07462> (8802)_.

27:21

[As] the fining pot
<04715>

for silver
<03701>_,

and the furnace
<03564>

for gold
<02091>_;

so [is] a man

to
<06310>

his praise
<04110>_.

a net
<07568>

for his feet
<06471>_.
