But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the womanwhichthouhasttaken; for she is a man’swife.
Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herselfsaid, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my handshave I donethis.
And God saidunto him in a dream, Yea, I knowthatthoudidstthis in the integrity of thy heart; for I alsowithheldtheefromsinningagainst me: thereforesuffered I thee not to touch her.
Now thereforerestore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shallpray for thee, and thoushaltlive: and if thourestore her not, knowthouthatthoushaltsurely die, thou, and all that are thine.

And it came to pass, when God caused me to wanderfrom my father’shouse, that I saidunto her, This is thy kindnesswhichthoushaltshewunto me; at everyplacewhither we shallcome, say of me, He is my brother.
And untoSarah he said, Behold, I havegiven thy brother a thousandpieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are withthee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
