American King James Version
"But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, will you slay also a righteous nation? "
— Genesis 20:4, American King James Version
“But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?”
“Now Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay even a righteous nation? ”
“Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, "Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation?”
“Now Abimelech had not gone near her. He said,“Lord, would you really slaughter an innocent nation?”
“Now Abimelech had not touched her, and he said: Lord, wilt thou slay a nation that is ignorant and just?”
“Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, Lord, will you put to death an upright nation?”
“But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?”
And Abraham journeyed from there toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, you are but a dead man, for the woman which you have taken; for she is a man’s wife.
But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, will you slay also a righteous nation?
Said he not to me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocence of my hands have I done this.
And God said to him in a dream, Yes, I know that you did this in the integrity of your heart; for I also withheld you from sinning against me: therefore suffered I you not to touch her.
Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for you, and you shall live: and if you restore her not, know you that you shall surely die, you, and all that are yours.
