Genesis:20:9-16
rsv@Genesis:20:9 @ Then Abim'elech called Abraham, and said to him, "What have you done to us? And how have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me things that ought not to be done."
rsv@Genesis:20:10 @ And Abim'elech said to Abraham, "What were you thinking of, that you did this thing?"
rsv@Genesis:20:11 @ Abraham said, "I did it because I thought, There is no fear of God at all in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.
rsv@Genesis:20:12 @ Besides she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
rsv@Genesis:20:13 @ And when God caused me to wander from my father's house, I said to her, `This is the kindness you must do me: at every place to which we come, say of me, He is my brother.'"
rsv@Genesis:20:14 @ Then Abim'elech took sheep and oxen, and male and female slaves, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah his wife to him.
rsv@Genesis:20:15 @ And Abim'elech said, "Behold, my land is before you; dwell where it pleases you."
rsv@Genesis:20:16 @ To Sarah he said, "Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver; it is your vindication in the eyes of all who are with you; and before every one you are righted."
