GENESIS

Genesis 20

1Abraham removed from thence to the south country, and dwelt between Cades and Sur, and sojourned in Gerara.
Genesis 26:1, Genesis 26:6, Genesis 26:1, Genesis 26:6, 2 Chronicles 14:13
2And he said of Sara his wife: She is my sister. So Abimelech the king of Gerara sent, and took her.
Genesis 12:15, Genesis 12:15, Genesis 26:7, Genesis 26:7, Genesis 12:11
3And God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and he said to him: Lo thou shalt die for the woman that thou hast taken: for she hath a husband.
Matthew 27:19, Genesis 20:7, Matthew 27:19, Genesis 20:7, Job 33:15
4Now Abimelech had not touched her, and he said: Lord, wilt thou slay a nation that is ignorant and just?
Genesis 18:23, Genesis 18:25, 1 Chronicles 21:17, Genesis 18:23, Genesis 18:25
5Did 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.
Psalms 7:8, 1 Kings 9:4, Psalms 7:8, 1 Kings 9:4, Joshua 22:22
6And God said to him: And I know that thou didst it with a sincere heart: and therefore I withheld thee from sinning against me, and I suffered thee not to touch her.
1 Samuel 25:34, 1 Samuel 25:34, 1 Samuel 25:26, 1 Samuel 25:26, Proverbs 21:1
7Now therefore restore the man his wife, for he is a prophet: and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: but if thou wilt not restore her, know that thou shalt surely die, thou and all that are thine.
Job 42:8, 1 Samuel 7:5, Job 42:8, 1 Samuel 7:5, Hebrews 13:4
8And Abimelech forthwith rising up in the night, called all his servants: and spoke all these words in their hearing, and all the men were exceedingly afraid.
9And Abimelech called also for Abraham, and said to him: What hast thou done to us? what have we offended thee in, that thou hast brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done to us what thou oughtest not to do.
Genesis 12:18, Genesis 12:18, Genesis 26:10, Genesis 39:9, Genesis 26:10
10And again he expostulated with him, and said: What sawest thou, that thou hast done this?
11Abraham answered: I thought with myself, saying: Perhaps there is not the fear of God in this place: and they will kill me for the sake of my wife:
Proverbs 2:5, Nehemiah 5:15, Genesis 26:7, Genesis 12:12, Proverbs 16:6
12Howbeit, 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.
Genesis 11:29, Genesis 11:29, 1 Thessalonians 5:22, Genesis 12:13, 1 Thessalonians 5:22
13And after God brought me out of my father's house, I said to her: Thou shalt do me this kindness: In every place, to which we shall come, thou shalt say that I am thy brother.
Genesis 12:1, Genesis 12:1, Genesis 12:9, Genesis 12:9, Acts 7:3
14And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and servants and handmaids, and gave to Abraham: and restored to him Sara his wife,
Genesis 12:16, Genesis 12:16, Genesis 20:11, Genesis 20:2, Genesis 20:7
15And said: The land is before you, dwell wheresoever it shall please thee.
Genesis 34:10, Genesis 13:9, Genesis 34:10, Genesis 13:9, Genesis 47:6
16And to Sara he said: Behold I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver, this shall serve thee for a covering of thy eyes to all that are with thee, and whithersoever thou shalt go: and remember thou wast taken.
Genesis 20:5, Proverbs 27:5, Genesis 20:5, Proverbs 27:5, Genesis 24:65
17And when Abraham prayed, God healed Abimelech and his wife, and his handmaids, and they bore children:
James 5:16, James 5:16, Philippians 4:6, Philippians 4:6, Isaiah 45:11
18For the Lord had closed up every womb of the house of Abimelech, on account of Sara, Abraham's wife.
Genesis 12:17, Genesis 12:17, Genesis 30:2, Genesis 30:2, Genesis 20:7
