MLV(i)
1 And Abraham traveled from there toward the land of the South and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur. And he traveled in Gerar.
2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech King of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night and said to him, Behold, you are but a dead man, over the woman whom you have taken; she is a man's wife.
4 Now Abimelech had not come near her. And he said, Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation? 5 Did he not himself say to me, She is my sister? And she, even she herself said, He is my brother. In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this.
6 And 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. 7 Now therefore restore the man's wife. For he is a prophet and he will pray for you and you will live. And if you do not restore her, you will know that you will surely die, you and all who are yours.
