Genesis 20:5-7
Lexham English Bible
5 Did not he himself say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ With integrity of my heart and with cleanness of my hands I did this.” 6 Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes,[a] I know that in the integrity of your heart you did this, and I also kept you from sinning[b] against me. Therefore, I did not allow you to touch her. 7 So now, return the wife of the man, for he is a prophet, so that he will pray for you and you will live. And if you do not return her,[c] know that you will certainly die, and all that are yours.”

New International Version
5 Did he not say to me, ‘She is my sister,(A)’ and didn’t she also say, ‘He is my brother’? I have done this with a clear conscience(B) and clean hands.(C)”
6 Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept(D) you from sinning against me.(E) That is why I did not let you touch her. 7 Now return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet,(F) and he will pray for you(G) and you will live. But if you do not return her, you may be sure that you and all who belong to you will die.”(H)
