11 Now Abraham journeyed from there toward the land of the Negev, and settled between Kadesh and Shur; then he sojourned in Gerar.
11 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
11 From there Abraham traveled to the region of the Negev and settled between Kadesh and Shur. While he lived in Gerar,
22 Abraham said of Sarah his wife, "She is my sister " So Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
22 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
22 Abraham said about his wife Sarah, "She is my sister." So Abimelech king of Gerar had Sarah brought to him.
33 But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, "Behold, you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is married."
33 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.
33 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night and said to him, "You are about to die because of the woman you have taken, for she is a married woman."
44 Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, "Lord, will You slay a nation, even though blameless?
44 Now Abimelech had not approached her, so he said, "Lord, would you destroy a nation even though it is innocent?
55 "Did he not himself 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."
55 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.
55 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."
66 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.
66 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.
66 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.
77 "Now therefore, restore the man's wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours."
77 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.
77 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."
88 So Abimelech arose early in the morning and called all his servants and told all these things in their hearing; and the men were greatly frightened.
88 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.
88 Early in the morning Abimelech got up, called all his servants together, and personally told them all these things; and the men were terrified.
99 Then Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, "What have you done to us? And how have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me things that ought not to be done."
99 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.
99 Then Abimelech called Abraham in and said to him, "What have you done to us? How did I sin against you that you have brought such enormous guilt on me and on my kingdom? You have done things to me that should never be done."
1111 Abraham said, "Because I thought, surely there is no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.
1111 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.
1111 Abraham replied, "I thought, 'There is absolutely no fear of God in this place. They will kill me because of my wife.'
1212 "Besides, she actually is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife;
1212 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.
1212 Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father though not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife.
1313 and it came about, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, 'This is the kindness which you will show to me: everywhere we go, say of me, "He is my brother."'"
1313 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.
1313 So when God had me wander from my father's house, I said to her: Show your loyalty to me wherever we go, and say about me: 'He's my brother.' "
1414 Abimelech then took sheep and oxen and male and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored his wife Sarah to him.
1414 And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
1414 Then Abimelech took sheep and cattle and male and female slaves, gave them to Abraham, and returned his wife Sarah to him.
1616 To Sarah he said, "Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver; behold, it is your vindication before all who are with you, and before all men you are cleared."
1616 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.
1616 And to Sarah he said, "Look, I am giving your brother 1,000 pieces of silver. It is a verification of your honor to all who are with you. You are fully vindicated."
1717 Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his maids, so that they bore children.
1717 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.

1818 For the LORD had closed fast all the wombs of the household of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
