1 Abraham journeyed from there to the Negev region and settled between Kadesh and Shur. While he lived as a temporary resident in Gerar, 2 Abraham said about his wife Sarah, “She is my sister.” So Abimelech, king of Gerar, sent for Sarah and took her. 3 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.”

1 And from there Abraam moved to the land toward the southwest and lived between Kades and between Sour and resided in Gerara as an alien. 2 And Abraam said of his wife Sarra, “She is my sister,” for he was afraid to say, “She is my wife,” lest perhaps the men of the city kill him on her account. Then Abimelech king of Gerara sent and took Sarra. 3 And God came in to Abimelech in hisc sleep during the night and said, “Look, you are about to die by reason of the woman whom you have taken, whereas she is married to a man.”
