God came to Abimelekh in a dream
that night. 'You will die
because of the woman you took,'
He said, 'She is already
married.'

Abimelekh had not come near her.
He said, 'O Lord, will You even

that she was his sister? She
also claimed that he was her

God said to him in the dream, 'I
also realize that you have done
this with an innocent heart.
That is why I prevented you from
sinning against Me, not giving
you an opportunity to touch her.

Abimelekh got up early in the
morning, and he summoned all his
servants. He discreetly repeated
all these words to them, and the
men were very frightened.

Abimelekh summoned Abraham and
said to him, 'How could you do
this to us? What terrible thing
did I do to you that you brought
such great guilt upon me and my
people? The thing you did to me
is simply not done!'

such a thing?'

killed because of my wife.
