Unchecked Copy BoxGen 20:5 - “Did he himself H1931 not say H559 to me, ‘She is my sister H269’? And she herself H1931 said H559, ‘He is my brother H251.’ In the integrity H8537 of my heart H3824 and the innocence H5356 of my [fn]hands H3709 I have done H6213 this H2088.”

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 20:13 - and it came H1961 about H1961, when H834 God H430 caused me to wander H8582 from my father’s H1 house H1004, that I said H559 to her, ‘This H2088 is [fn]the kindness H2617 which H834 you will show H6213 to me: [fn]everywhere H413 H3605 H4725 H834 H8033 we go H935, say H559 of me, “He is my brother H251.”’”

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 20:15 - Abimelech H40 said H559, “Behold H2009, my land H776 is before H6440 you; [fn]settle H3427 wherever [fn]you please H2896 H5869.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 20:16 - To Sarah H8283 he said H559, “Look H2009, I have given H5414 your brother H251 a thousand H505 pieces of silver H3701. [fn]It is [fn]your vindication H3682 before all H3605 who H834 are with you, and before H854 everyone H3605 you are cleared H3198.”
