10 Then Abimelek said to Abraham, “What were you thinking of, that you did this thing?”
11 Abraham said, “Because I thought, surely there is no fear of God in this place, and they will slay me because of my wife.
12 Still, indeed, she is my sister. She is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother. She became my wife.
13 When God caused me to travel from my father’s house, I said to her, ‘This is your kindness which you must show me: Every place where we go, say concerning me, He is my brother.’ ”
14 Then Abimelek took sheep, oxen, and male and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and returned his wife Sarah to him.
15 Abimelek said, “My land is before you; settle wherever it pleases you.”
16 To Sarah he said, “I have given your brother a thousand shekels of silver. It is a sign of your innocence in the eyes of all who are with you, and before everyone you are vindicated.”
