| [1]And Abraham departed thence towarde the south countrey, & dwelled betweene Cades and Sur, and soiourned in Gerar |
[1]Afterward Abraham departed thence toward the south country and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar. |
| [2]And Abraham sayde of Sara his wyfe, she is my syster: And Abimelech kyng of Gerar sent, and fet Sara away |
[2]And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. Then Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah. |
| [3]But God came to Abimelech by night in a dreame, and saide to hym: See, thou art but a dead man for the womans sake whiche thou hast taken away, for she is a mans wyfe |
[3]But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but dead, because of the woman, which thou hast taken: for she is a man's wife. |
| [4]But Abimelech had not yet touched her: and he sayde, Lorde wylt thou slay ryghteous people |
[4](Notwithstanding Abimelech had not yet come near her) And he said, Lord, wilt thou slay even the righteous nation? |
| [5]Saide not he vnto me, she is my sister? yea and she her selfe sayde, he is my brother: with a single heart, and innocent handes haue I done this |
[5]Said not he unto me, She is my sister? Yea, and she herself said, He is my brother: with an upright mind, and innocent hands have I done this. |
| [6]And God sayde vnto him in a dreame: I wote well that thou dyddest it in the singlenesse of thy heart: I kept thee also that thou shuldest not sinne against me, and therefore suffred I thee not to touche her |
[6]And God said unto him by a dream, I know that thou didst this even with an upright mind, and I kept thee also that thou shouldest not sin against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her. |
| [7]Nowe therefore delyuer the man his wyfe agayne, for he is a prophete, and he shall pray for thee, that thou mayest lyue: But and yf thou delyuer her not agayne, be sure that thou shalt dye the death, [both thou] and all that thou hast |
[7]Now then deliver the man his wife again: for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee that thou mayest live: but if thou deliver her not again, be sure that thou shalt die the death, thou, and all that thou hast. |
| [8]Therefore, Abimelech rysyng vp betimes in the mornyng, called all his seruauntes, and tolde all these sayinges in their eares: and the men were sore afrayde |
[8]Then Abimelech rising up early in the morning, called all his servants, and told all these things unto them, and the men were sore afraid. |
| [9]Then Abimelech called Abraham, & sayde vnto hym: What hast thou done vnto vs? & what haue I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me & on my kingdome [so] great a sinne? thou hast done deedes vnto me that ought not to be done |
[9]Afterward Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? And what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom this great sin? Thou hast done things unto me that ought not to be done. |
| [10]And Abimelech saide vnto Abraham: what sawest thou that thou hast done this thyng |
[10]So Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou that thou hast done this thing? |
| [11]Abraha aunswered: For I thought [thus] surely the feare of God is not in this place, and they shal slaye me for my wyues sake |
[11]Then Abraham answered, Because I thought thus, Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they will slay me for my wife's sake. |
| [12]Yet in very deede she is my sister, for she is ye daughter of my father, though she be not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wyfe |
[12]Yet in very deed she is my sister: for she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother, and she is my wife. |
| [13]And after God caused me to wander out of my fathers house, I sayde vnto her: this kyndnesse shalt thou shewe vnto me, in all places where we come, that thou say of me, he is my brother |
[13]Now when God caused me to wander out of my father's house, I said then to her, This is thy kindness that thou shalt show unto me in all places where we come, Say thou of me, He is my brother. |
| [14]Then toke Abimelech sheepe and oxen, men seruauntes and women seruauntes, & gaue [them] vnto Abraham, and delyuered hym Sara his wyfe agayne |
[14]Then took Abimelech sheep and beeves, and men servants, and women servants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife. |
| [15]And Abimelech sayde: beholde my lande lyeth before thee, dwell where it pleaseth thee best |
[15]And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee. |
| [16]But vnto Sara he saide: See I haue geuen thy brother a thousand peeces of syluer: beholde, it is as a coueryng of thyne eyes vnto all that are with thee, and to all [other:] and thus she was reproued |
[16]Likewise to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is the vail of thine eyes to all that are with thee, and to all others: and she was thus reproved. |
| [17]And so Abraham prayed vnto God, & God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maydens, & they bare chyldren |
[17]Then Abraham prayed unto God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his women servants: and they bear children. |
| [18]For the Lorde had closed vp all the wombes of the house of Abimelech, because of Abrahams wyfe |
[18]For the Lord had shut up every womb of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife. |
