11 Abraha aunswered: For I thought thus surely the feare of God is not in this place, and they shal slaye me for my wyues sake. 12 Yet in very deede she is my sister, for she is ye daughter of my father, though she be not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wyfe. 13 And after God caused me to wander out of my fathers house, I sayde vnto her: this kyndnesse shalt thou shewe vnto me, in all places where we come, that thou say of me, he is my brother. 14 Then toke Abimelech sheepe and oxen, men seruauntes and women seruauntes, & gaue them vnto Abraham, and delyuered hym Sara his wyfe agayne. 15 And Abimelech sayde: beholde my lande lyeth before thee, dwell where it pleaseth thee best. 16 But vnto Sara he saide: See I haue geuen thy brother a thousand peeces of syluer: beholde, it is as a coueryng of thyne eyes vnto all that are with thee, and to all other: and thus she was reproued. 17 And so Abraham prayed vnto God, & God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maydens, & they bare chyldren. 18 For the Lorde had closed vp all the wombes of the house of Abimelech, because of Abrahams wyfe.
