Genesis 20:4-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 20
4
Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, 'Lord, will You kill a nation, even
though
blameless?
5
Did he himself not say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this.'
6
Then God said to him in the dream, 'Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also kept you from sinning against Me; therefore I did not let you touch her.
7
Now then, return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not return
her,
know that you will certainly die, you and all who are yours.'
8
So Abimelech got up early in the morning and called all his servants, and told all these things in their presence; and the people were greatly frightened.
King James Version
Chapter 20
4
But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 20
4
Now Abimelech had not approached her, so he said, "Lord, would you destroy a nation even though it is innocent?
5
Didn’t he himself say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ I did this with a clear conscience and clean hands."
6
Then God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know that you did this with a clear conscience. I have also kept you from sinning against me. Therefore I have not let you touch her.
7
Now return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not return her, know that you will certainly die, you and all who are yours."
8
Early in the morning Abimelech got up, called all his servants together, and personally told them all these things, and the men were terrified.
New Living Translation
Chapter 20
4
But Abimelech had not slept with her yet, so he said, 'Lord, will you destroy an innocent nation?
5
Didn’t Abraham tell me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ‘Yes, he is my brother.’ I acted in complete innocence! My hands are clean.'
6
In the dream God responded, 'Yes, I know you are innocent. That’s why I kept you from sinning against me, and why I did not let you touch her.
7
Now return the woman to her husband, and he will pray for you, for he is a prophet. Then you will live. But if you don’t return her to him, you can be sure that you and all your people will die.'
8
Abimelech got up early the next morning and quickly called all his servants together. When he told them what had happened, his men were terrified.

4
Now Abimelek had not gone near her, so he said, "Lord, will you destroy an innocent nation?
5
Did he not say to me, ‘She is my sister,’ and didn’t she also say, ‘He is my brother’? I have done this with a clear conscience and clean hands."
6
Then God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept you from sinning against me. That is why I did not let you touch her.
7
Now return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not return her, you may be sure that you and all who belong to you will die."

is
a prophet, and he will pray for you and you shall live. But if you do not restore
her,
know that you shall surely die, you and all who
are
yours.”
