Genesis 20:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 20:14

12 But indeed ^ashe 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 ^aGod 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, ^bsay of me, “He is my brother.” ’ ”

14 Then Abimelech ^atook 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, ^amy 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; ^aindeed this vindicates you ^bbefore all who are with you and before everybody.” Thus she was² rebuked.
