Chapter 20 And Abraham journeyed from
Thence toward the south country,

00:04.860 --> 00:08.520
and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur,
and sojourned in Gerar.

00:09.000 --> 00:12.320
And Abraham said of Sarah his wife,
She is my sister.

00:12.680 --> 00:15.500
And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took
Sarah.

00:15.840 --> 00:19.960
But God came to Abimelech in a dream by
night, and said to him, Behold,

00:20.520 --> 00:25.820
thou art but a dead man, for the woman
which thou hast taken, for she is a man's

00:25.820 --> 00:26.260
wife.

00:26.560 --> 00:31.680
But Abimelech had not come near her,
and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a

00:31.680 --> 00:32.520
righteous nation?

00:33.260 --> 00:35.800
Said he not unto me, She is my sister?

00:36.340 --> 00:39.420
And she, even she herself, said,
He is my brother.

00:39.880 --> 00:44.200
In the integrity of my heart and innocency
of my hands have I done this.

00:44.520 --> 00:49.220
And God said unto him in a dream,
Yea, I know that thou didst this in the

00:49.220 --> 00:53.760
integrity of thy heart, for I also
withheld thee from sinning against me.

00:54.580 --> 00:56.940
Therefore suffered I thee not to touch
her.

00:57.600 --> 01:03.840
Now therefore restore the man his wife,
for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for

01:03.840 --> 01:06.080
thee, and thou shalt live.

01:06.680 --> 01:14.040
And if thou restore her not, know thou
that thou shalt surely die, thou and all

01:14.040 --> 01:15.020
that are thine.

01:15.440 --> 01:19.140
Therefore Abimelech rose early in the
morning, and called all his servants,

01:19.340 --> 01:23.020
and told all these things in their ears,
and the men were sore afraid.

01:23.020 --> 01:28.120
Then Abimelech called Abraham,
and said unto him, What hast thou done

01:28.120 --> 01:34.140
unto us, and what have I offended thee,
that thou hast brought on me and on my

01:34.140 --> 01:35.220
kingdom a great sin?

01:35.980 --> 01:39.180
Thou hast done deeds unto me that ought
not to be done.

01:39.800 --> 01:44.840
And Abimelech said unto Abraham,
What sawest thou, that thou hast done this

01:44.840 --> 01:45.220
thing?

01:45.580 --> 01:50.740
And Abraham said, Because I thought surely
the fear of God is not in this place,

01:50.740 --> 01:53.480
and they will slay me for my wife's sake.

01:54.080 --> 01:56.320
And yet indeed she is my sister.

01:56.800 --> 02:01.140
She is the daughter of my father,
but not the daughter of my mother.

02:01.540 --> 02:03.100
And she became my wife.

02:03.580 --> 02:08.100
And it came to pass, when God caused me to
wander from my father's house,

02:08.400 --> 02:14.060
that I said unto her, This is thy kindness
which thou shalt show unto me.

02:14.460 --> 02:20.280
At every place whither we shall come,
say of me, He is my brother.

02:20.700 --> 02:24.300
And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen,
and men's servants, and women's servants,

02:24.420 --> 02:27.840
and gave them unto Abraham, and restored
him Sarah his wife.

02:28.280 --> 02:31.900
And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is
before thee.

02:32.440 --> 02:34.240
Dwell where it pleaseth thee.

02:34.660 --> 02:39.560
And unto Sarah he said, Behold,
I have given thy brother a thousand pieces

02:39.560 --> 02:40.200
of silver.

02:40.960 --> 02:45.360
Behold, he is to thee a covering of the
eyes, unto all that are with thee,

02:45.940 --> 02:46.800
and with all other.

02:46.800 --> 02:48.640
Thus she was reproved.

02:49.260 --> 02:53.480
So Abraham prayed unto God, and God healed
Abimelech and his wife and his

02:53.480 --> 02:55.320
maidservants, and they bare children.

02:55.760 --> 02:59.540
For the Lord had fast closed up all the
wombs of the house of Abimelech,

02:59.720 --> 03:01.700
because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
