Genesis 20:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, [a]thou art but dead, because of the woman, which thou hast taken: for she is a man’s wife.
4 (Notwithstanding Abimelech had not yet come near her) And he said, Lord, wilt thou slay even [b]the righteous nation?
5 Said not he unto me, She is my sister? yea, and she herself said, He is my brother: with an upright [c]mind, and [d]innocent hands have I done this.
