5 Did he not say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she, even she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ aIn the integrity of my heart and innocence of my hands I have done this.”
6 And God said to him in a dream, “Yes, I know that you did this in the integrity of your heart. For aI also withheld you from sinning bagainst Me; therefore I did not let you touch her.
7 Now therefore, restore the man’s wife; afor he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you shall live. But if you do not restore her, bknow that you shall surely die, you cand all who are yours.”
8 So Abimelech rose early in the morning, called all his servants, and told all these things in their hearing; and the men were very much afraid.
9 And Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, “What have you done to us? How have I1 offended you, athat you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to me bthat ought not to be done.”
