1 <\/sup>Abraham traveled from there to the Negev, and he stayed between Kadesh and Shur. He lived as a foreign resident in Gerar. 2 <\/sup>Regarding his wife Sarah, Abraham said, “She is my sister.” Abimelech, king of Gerar, sent and brought Sarah. <\/span> 3 <\/sup>But at night God came to Abimelech in a dream and said to him, ‘Listen to me, you have died because of the woman whom you have taken as your wife, because she also has a husband.<\/span><\/p>\n 4 <\/sup>Abimelech did not come near him. He said, \u201cLord, will you kill even a righteous nation? <\/span> 5 <\/sup>Didn’t he say to me, ‘She is my sister’? Even he himself said, ‘He is my brother.’ I have done this work with a true heart and innocent hands.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n 6 <\/sup>God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that you did this with a true heart, that is why I also stopped you from sinning against Me. That is why I did not allow you to touch her.” <\/span> 7 <\/sup>Therefore now return that man’s wife. He is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you do not return him, then know for sure that you and all your people will also die.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n 8 <\/sup>Abimelech got up early in the morning and called all his servants and told them all these things. The men were frightened. <\/span> 9 <\/sup>Then Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, What have you done to us? What sin have I committed against you, that you have committed such a great sin against me and my kingdom? <\/span> 10 <\/sup>Abimelech said to Abraham, What did you see in us that caused you to do this?<\/span><\/p>\n 11 <\/sup>Abraham said, “I did it because I said to myself, ‘Surely they do not fear God in this place. They will kill me to get my wife.’ <\/span> 12 <\/sup>Moreover, she is actually my sister, my father’s daughter, but not my mother’s daughter, and she became my wife. <\/span> 13 <\/sup>When God drove me out of my father’s house, I said to her, ‘This is the kindness you will show me: Wherever we go, tell about me, ‘He is my brother.’<\/span><\/p>\n 14 <\/sup>Abimelech took sheep, goats, cattle, male and female slaves and gave them to Abraham. He also returned his wife Sarah. <\/span> 15 <\/sup>Abimelech said, “Look, my land is in front of you. Live where you like.” <\/span> 16 <\/sup>He said to Sarah, Look, I have given your brother a thousand minas. (1)<\/sup> Of silver. You see, this covers any transgression in the eyes of everyone present with you. You are innocent before all of them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n 17 <\/sup>Abraham prayed to God. God healed Abimelech and his wife and her maids, and they were able to have children. <\/span> 18 <\/sup>For God<\/span> All the wombs of Abimelech’s house were closed regarding Sarah, Abraham’s wife.<\/span><\/p>\n 1 <\/sup> God<\/span> visited (2)<\/sup> Sarah did as he said, and God<\/span> He did for Sara as he promised. 2 <\/sup>Sarah became pregnant in Abraham’s old age and gave birth to a son at the appointed time that God had announced to him. <\/span> 3 <\/sup>Abraham named his son who was born to Sarah. (3)<\/sup> Isaac. (4)<\/sup> <\/span> 4 <\/sup>Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had ordered him to do. <\/span> 5 <\/sup>Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born.<\/span><\/p>\n 6 <\/sup>Sarah said, “God made me laugh. Anyone who will listen will laugh with me.” <\/span> 7 <\/sup>He said, “Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would bear children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”<\/span><\/p>\n 8 <\/sup>The child grew up and was weaned. On the day Isaac was weaned, Abraham held a big feast. <\/span> 9 <\/sup>Sarah saw laughing at Isaac, the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom Hagar had given birth to Abraham. <\/span> 10 <\/sup>So she said to Abraham, send out this maid (5)<\/sup> And his son! Because the son of this servant will not be heir with my son Isaac.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n 11 <\/sup>Abraham was very sad because of his son. <\/span> 12 <\/sup>God said to Abraham, \u201cDon’t be so sad because of your son and your maid. (6)<\/sup> Listen to whatever Sarah says to you because of your descendants. (7)<\/sup> Will be traced through Isaac. <\/span> 13 <\/sup>I will also make a nation from the son of the slave girl, because he is also your child.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n 14 <\/sup>Abraham got up early in the morning. He took bread and a skin of leather, which he gave to Hagar and placed it on her shoulder. He sent her away with her child. She set out and wandered in the wilderness near Beersheba. <\/span> 15 <\/sup>The skin had run out of water and she dragged the child under one of the bushes. <\/span> 16 <\/sup>She went and sat down before him, at a distance, almost a bow’s length, alone, for she said, “Do not let me see the death of the child.” She sat in front of him and started crying loudly.<\/span><\/p>\n 17 <\/sup>God heard the boy’s voice, and God’s angel called Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What happened, Hagar? Do not be afraid, for God has heard the boy’s voice where he is.” <\/span> 18 <\/sup>Rise. Help the boy, and hold his hand, for I will make of him a great nation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n 19 <\/sup>God opened his eyes, and he saw a well which had water. She went, filled water in the skin and gave water to the boy. <\/span> 20 <\/sup>The god was with the boy, and as he grew up, he lived in the forest and became an archer. <\/span> 21 <\/sup>He lived in the forest of Paran. His mother took a wife for him from Egypt.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Genesis 20:1 \u2013 21:21 Abraham and Abimelech genesis 20 1 Abraham traveled from there to the Negev, and he stayed between Kadesh and Shur.
