And AbraƔm moved from there into [the] land towards [the] south, and dwelt between Kades and between Sour, and sojourned in Gerara.
And AbraƔm said concerning his wife Sarra: "She is my sister", for he feared to say that she is my wife, lest at any time the men of the city should kill him on account of her. So Abimelech, king of Gerara, sent and took Sarra.
And the Theos entered to Abimelech in sleep by night. And he said: "Behold: you die concerning the woman whom you took, for she is living with a man."
But Abimelech had not touched her. And he said: "Lord, will you destroy an ignorantly [sinning] and just nation?
Said not he to me 'She is my sister', and said she to me 'He is my brother'? In a clean heart and in the righteousness of hands, I did this."
And the Theos said to him during sleep: "And I knew that you did this with a clean heart, and I spared you [for] you not to sin against me. Because of this I did not let you to touch her.
So now return his wife of the human, for he is a prophet, and he will pray concerning you, and you shall live. But if [you do] not give back, you shall know that you shall die, you and all yours."
And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants. And he spoke all these words into their ears. And all the humans feared exceedingly.
And Abimelech called AbraƔm and said to him: "What [is] this you did to us, unless we did wrong into you, that you bring upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? A deed which no one ought to do, you have done to me."
And Abimelech said to AbraƔm: "What seeing did you do this?"
And AbraƔm said: "For I said: Surely there is no devotion to the Theos in this place, and they will slay me because of my wife.
For also truly she is my sister from [my] father, but not from [my] mother, and she became to me into wife.
And it came to pass when the Theos led me from out of the house of my father, that I said to her: This righteousness you shall do for me in every place of which ever I enter, there you say of me that he is my brother."
And Abimelech took a thousand double-drachmas, and sheep, and calves, and manservants, and maidservants, and gave [this] to AbraƔm. And he returned to him his wife Sarra.
And Abimelech said to AbraƔm: "Behold: my land [is] before you. Dwell wheresoever it may please you."
And [to] Sarra he said: "Behold: I have given a thousand double-drachmas to your brother. These will be to you for the price of your face, and all the [ones] with you. And you be truthful [in] all [things].
And AbraƔm prayed to the Theos. And the Theos healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants. And they bore.
For in closing up, [the] lord closed up from outside every womb in the house of Abimelech, because of AbraƔm's wife Sarra.
