"Yet, in another way, she is also truly my sister, the daughter of my father, and not the daughter of my mother, and I took her as a wife. "
— Genesis 20:12, Catholic Public Domain Version
“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.”
“And moreover she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife: ”
“Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.”
“What’s more, she is indeed my sister, my father’s daughter, but not my mother’s daughter. She became my wife.”
“Howbeit, otherwise also she is truly my sister, the daughter of my father, and not the daughter of my mother, and I took her to wife.”
“And, in fact, she is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife:”
“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.”
Then Abimelech called also for Abraham, and he said to him: “What have you done to us? How have we sinned against you, so that you would bring so great a sin upon me and upon my kingdom? You have done to us what you ought not to have done.”
And remonstrating him again, he said, “What did you see, so that you would do this?”
Abraham responded: “I thought to myself, saying: Perhaps there is no fear of God in this place. And they will put me to death because of my wife.
Yet, in another way, she is also truly my sister, the daughter of my father, and not the daughter of my mother, and I took her as a wife.
Then, after God led me out of my father’s house, I said to her: ‘You will show this mercy to me. In every place, to which we will travel, you will say that I am your brother.’ ”
Therefore, Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men servants and women servants, and he gave them to Abraham. And he returned his wife Sarah to him.
And he said, “The land is in your sight. Dwell wherever it will please you.”
