10 Abimelech said to Abraham, "What did you see, that you have done this thing?"
11 Abraham said, "Because I thought, `Surely the fear of God is not in this place. They will kill me for my wife`s sake.`
12 Moreover she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
13 It happened, when God caused me to wander from my father`s house, that I said to her, `This is your kindness which you shall show to me. Everywhere that we go, say of me, "He is my brother."`"
14 Abimelech took sheep and oxen, men-servants and women-servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored Sarah, his wife to him.
15 Abimelech said, "Behold, my land is before you. Dwell where it pleases you."
16 To Sarah he said, "Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes to all that are with you. In front of all you are vindicated."
