Gen 20:3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.

ואבימלך לא קרב אליה ויאמר אדני הגוי גם־צדיק תהרג׃

Gen 20:4 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?

הלא הוא אמר־לי אחתי הוא והיא־גם־הוא אמרה אחי הוא בתם־לבבי ובנקין כפי עשיתי זאת׃

Gen 20:5 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 innocency of my hands have I done this.

ויאמר אליו האלהים בחלם גם אנכי ידעתי כי בתם־לבבך עשית זאת ואחשך גם־אנכי אותך מחטו־לי על־כן לא־נתתיך לנגע אליה׃

Gen 20:6 And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.

ועתה השב אשת־האיש כי־נביא הוא ויתפלל בעדך וחיה ואם־אינך משיב דע כי־מות תמות אתה וכל־אשר־לך׃

Gen 20:7 Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.

וישכם אבימלך בבקר ויקרא לכל־עבדיו וידבר את־כל־הדברים האלה באזניהם וייראו האנשים מאד׃

Gen 20:8 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.

ויקרא אבימלך לאברהם ויאמר לו מה־עשית לנו ומה־חטאתי לך כי־הבאת עלי ועל־ממלכתי חטאה גדלה מעשים אשר לא־יעשו עשית עמדי׃

Gen 20:9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.

ויאמר אבימלך אל־אברהם מה ראית כי עשית את־הדבר הזה׃

Gen 20:10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?

ויאמר אברהם כי אמרתי רק אין־יראת אלהים במקום הזה והרגוני על־דבר אשתי׃

Gen 20:11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.

וגם־אמנה אחתי בת־אבי הוא אך לא בת־אמי ותהי־לי לאשה׃

Gen 20:12 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 wife.

ויהי כאשר התעו אתי אלהים מבית אבי ואמר לה זה חסדך אשר תעשי עמדי אל כל־המקום אשר נבוא שמה אמרי־לי אחי הוא׃

Gen 20:13 And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.

ויקח אבימלך צאן ובקר ועבדים ושפחת ויתן לאברהם וישב לו את שרה אשתו׃

Gen 20:14 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.

ויאמר אבימלך הנה ארצי לפניך בטוב בעיניך שב׃

Gen 20:15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.

ולשרה אמר הנה נתתי אלף כסף לאחיך הנה הוא־לך כסות עינים לכל אשר אתך ואת כל ונכחת׃

Gen 20:16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.

ויתפלל אברהם אל־האלהים וירפא אלהים את־אבימלך ואת־אשתו ואמהתיו וילדו׃

Gen 20:17 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.

כי־עצר עצר יהוה בעד כל־רחם לבית אבימלך על־דבר שרה אשת אברהם׃

Gen 20:18 For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
