Genesis 20:14 Context
12And yet indeed shee is my sister: she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and shee became my wife. 13And it came to passe when God caused me to wander from my fathers house, that I said vnto her, This is thy kindnesse which thou shalt shew vnto me; at euery place whither wee shall come, say of me, He is my brother. 14And Abimelech tooke sheepe and oxen, and men-seruants, and women seruants, and gaue them vnto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife. 15And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee; dwel where it pleaseth thee. 16And vnto Sarah hee said, Behold, I haue giuen thy brother a thousand pieces of siluer: behold, he is to thee a couering of the eyes, vnto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus shee was reproued.
