11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, perhaps there is no fear of God in this country; and they will slay me for my wife's sake. 12 And yet truly she is 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 God brought me forth out of my father's house, I said to her, This is the favor which you shall do to me; at every place whither we shall go, say of me, He is my brother. 14 And Abimeleck took sheep and oxen and male and female servants and gave them to Abraham and restored to him Sarah his wife. 15 Then Abimeleck said to Abraham, Behold, my land is before you; dwell wherever you please. 16 And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given a thousand pieces of silver to your brother; behold, it is given for you, because you have been humbled in the eyes of my people, and because of the other things for which I have reproved you. 17 So Abraham prayed to God and God healed Abimeleck and his wife and his maidservants, and they bore children. 18 For the LORD had fast closed up the wombs of all women in the household of Abimeleck because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
