ABRAHAM PULLS STAKES And from there Abraham pulls stakes toward the south land and settles between Qadesh and Shur and sojourns in Gerar. 2 And Abraham says of Sarah his woman, She is my sister: and Abi Melech sovereign of Gerar sends and takes Sarah: 3 and Elohim comes to Abi Melech in a dream by night and says to him, Behold, you die; for the woman you take is married to a master. 4 And Abi Melech had not approached her: and he says, Adonay, slaughter you also a just goyim? 5 Says he not to me, She is my sister? and she - even she herself says, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my palms worked I this. 6 And Elohim says to him in a dream, Yes, I know you work this in the integrity of your heart; for I also withheld you - even I from sinning against me: so I gave you to not touch her: 7 and now restore the man his woman; for he is a prophet; and he prays for you to live: and if you restore her not, know this, in dying, you die, you and all who are yours. 8 And Abi Melech starts early in the morning and calls all his servants and words all these words in their ears: and the men awe mightily: 9 and Abi Melech calls Abraham and says to him, What work you unto us? And what sin I against you, that you bring a great sin on me and on my sovereigndom? you work works unto me that ought not to be worked. 10 And Abi Melech says to Abraham, What see you, that you work this word? 11 And Abraham says, Because I say, Only the awe of Elohim is not in this place; and they slaughter me for word of my woman: 12 and yet truly she is my sister: she is the daughter of my father but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my woman. 13 And so be it, when Elohim strayed me from the house of my father, I say to her, This is the mercy you work to me: every place we go, say of me, He is my brother. 14 And Abi Melech takes flocks and oxen and servants and maids and gives them to Abraham and restores him Sarah his woman: 15 and Abi Melech says, Behold, my land at your face: settle where it is good in your eyes. 16 And to Sarah he says, Behold, I give your brother a thousand silver: behold, he is to you a covering of the eyes, to all who are with you and with all: thus she is reproved. 17 So Abraham prays to Elohim: and Elohim heals Abi Melech and his woman and his maids; and they birth. 18 For in restraining, Yah Veh restrains all the wombs of the house of Abi Melech for sake of the word of Sarah the woman of Abraham.
