And Abraham said of Sarah his wife: My, sister, is she, - So Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

Then God went in unto Abimelech, in a dream of the night, - and said to him, Behold thee dead! because of the woman whom thou hast taken, seeing that, she, is a married woman.

Now, Abimelech, had not come near unto her, - so he said, O My Lord! a nation even a righteous one, wilt thou slay?

Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, What hast thou done to us? and wherein had I sinned against thee, that thou shouldst have brought in over me and over my kingdom, a sin so great? Deeds, which should not be done, hast thou done with me.

And Abimelech said unto Abraham, - What hadst thou seen, that thou shouldst have done this thing?

Then took Abimelech sheep and oxen and men - servants and maid-servants, and gave to Abraham, - and restored to him Sarah his wife.

And Abimelech, said, Lo! my land is before thee, - wherever it may seem good in thine eyes, dwell.

And Abraham prayed unto God, - and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants, so that they bare children,

For Yahweh, had restrained from bearing, every female a of the house of Abimelech, - because of Sarah, wife of Abraham.

And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech, with Phicol chieftain of his host, spake unto Abraham, saying, - God, is with thee in all that, thou art doing.

But Abraham reproved Abimelech, - on account of the well of water, which the servants of Abimelech had seized.

And Abimelech said, I know not, who hath done this thing, - nor hast even thou, ever told me, nor have even I, ever heard, save to-day.

And Abraham took sheep and oxen, stud gave to Abimelech, - and they two solemnised a covenant

And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What, then mean these seven young sheep here, which thou hast set by themselves?

And when they had solemnised a covenant in Beer-sheba, - then arose Abimelech, with Phicol chief of his host, and returned unto the land of the Philistines.

And there came to be a famine in the land, besides the first famine which happened in the days of Abraham, - so Isaac went his way unto Abimelech, king of the Philistines towards Gerar;

And it came to pass when the days had lengthened out to him there, that Abimelech king of the Philistines, looked out through the lattice of a window, - and he beheld and lo! Isaac - laughing with Rebekah his wife.

So Abimelech called for Isaac, and said, But to she is, thy wife! How then, saidst thou, She is, my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because, I said, Lest I die on her account.

Then, said, Abimelech, What is this thou hast done to us? A little more, and one of the people might have lien with thy wife, so shouldst thou have brought upon us, guilt.

And Abimelech commanded all the people saying, - He that toucheth this man or his wife, shall surely be put to death

And Abimelech said unto Isaac, - Get thee from us, for thou hast become far mightier than we.

And, Abimelech, came unto him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol, commander of his host.
