AND Avraham journeyed from thence toward the country of the Negev, and dwelt between Qadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
And Avraham said of El-Sarah his woman, She is my sister: and Aviymelek king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
But Elohiym came to Aviymelek in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, you are but a dead man, for the woman which you have taken; for she is a man's woman.
But Aviymelek had not come near her: and he said, Adonai, will you slay also a righteous nation?
Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocence of my hands have I done this.
And Elohiym said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that you did this in the integrity of your heart; for I also withheld you from sinning against me: therefore suffered I you not to touch her.
Now therefore restore the man his woman; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for you, and you shall live: and if you restore her not, know you that you shall surely die, you, and all that are yours.
Therefore Aviymelek rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.
Then Aviymelek called Avraham, and said unto him, What have you done unto us? and what have I offended you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? you have done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
And Aviymelek said unto El-Avraham, What saw you, that you have done this thing?
And Avraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of Elohiym is not in this place; and they will slay me for my woman's sake.
And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my woman.
And it came to pass, when Elohiym caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This is your kindness which you shall show unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
And Aviymelek took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and women servants, and gave them unto Avraham, and restored him את Sarah his woman.
And Aviymelek said, Behold, my land is before you: dwell where it pleases you.
And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to you a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with you, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
So Avraham prayed unto Elohiym: and Elohiym healed Aviymelek, and his woman, and his maidservants; and they bore children.
For Yahuah had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Aviymelek, because of Sarah Avraham's woman.
