1 And Abraham will remove from thence to the land of the south, and will dwell between Kadesh and between Shur, and will sojourn in Gerar. 2 And Abraham will say as to Sarah his wife, This my sister: and Abimelech, king of Gerar, will send and take Sarah. 3 And God will come to Abimelech in a dream at night, and say to him, Behold, thou dead, for the woman which thou didst take, and she having married a husband. 4 And Abimelech came not near to her: and he will say, Lord, wilt thou also slay a just nation? 5 Did he not say to me, This my sister? and she also, she said he is my brother: in the uprightness of my heart, and in cleanness of my hands have I done this. 6 And God will say to him in a dream, I knew also that in the uprightness of thy heart thou didst this; and I also will restrain thee from sinning against me: for this I suffered thee not to touch her.
