Context Readings

Abraham And Abimelech

6 And God said unto him in a dream, "I know it well that thou didst it in the pureness of thy heart: And therefore I kept thee that thou shouldest not sin against me, neither suffered I thee to come nigh her. 7 Now, therefore, deliver the man his wife again, for he is a prophet. And let him pray for thee that thou mayest live. But and if thou deliver her not again, be sure that thou shalt die the death, with all that thou hast." 8 Then Abimelech rose up betimes in the morning and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears, and the men were sore afraid.
