He lived as a foreigner in Gerar. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/20-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>Abraham said about Sarah his wife, "She is my sister." Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/20-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, "Look, you are a dead man, because of the woman whom you have taken. For she is a man's wife." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/20-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, "Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation? <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/20-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>Did not 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." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/20-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>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 did not allow you to touch her. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/20-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Now therefore, restore the man's wife. For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you do not restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours."<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/20-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ear. The men were very scared. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/20-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>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." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/20-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>Abimelech said to Abraham, "What were you thinking, to do this thing?" <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/20-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>Abraham said, "Because I thought, 'Surely the fear of God is not in this place, so they will kill me because of my wife.' <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/20-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/20-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>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.
