“Said he not himself unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and the innocency of my hands have I done this. ”
“Didn't he tell me, 'She is my sister?' She, even she herself, said, 'He is my brother.' In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands have I done this."”
“Did not he say to me: She is my sister: and she say, He is my brother? in the simplicity of my heart, and cleanness of my hands have I done this.”
“Did he not say to me himself, She is my sister? and she herself said, He is my brother: with an upright heart and clean hands have I done this.”
“Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.”
Abraham said about his wife Sarah,“She is my sister.” So Abimelech, king of Gerar, sent for Sarah and took her.
But God appeared to Abimelech in a dream at night and said to him,“You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken, for she is someone else’s wife.”
Now Abimelech had not gone near her. He said,“Lord, would you really slaughter an innocent nation?
Did Abraham not say to me,‘She is my sister’? And she herself said,‘He is my brother.’ I have done this with a clear conscience and with innocent hands!”
Then in the dream God replied to him,“Yes, I know that you have done this with a clear conscience. That is why I have kept you from sinning against me and why I did not allow you to touch her.
But now give back the man’s wife. Indeed he is a prophet and he will pray for you; thus you will live. But if you don’t give her back, know that you will surely die along with all who belong to you.”
Early in the morning Abimelech summoned all his servants. When he told them about all these things, they were terrified.
