You have done to me things which are not to be done. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> And Abimelech said to Abraham, Why did you do this thing? <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> And Abraham said, Because it seemed to me that there was no fear of God in this place, and that they might put me to death because of my wife. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> And, in fact, she is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife: <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> And when God sent me wandering from my father&#8217;s house, I said to her, Let this be the sign of your love for me; wherever we go, say of me, He is my brother. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> Then Abimelech gave to Abraham sheep and oxen and men-servants and women-servants, and gave him back his wife Sarah. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> And Abimelech said, See, all my land is before you; take whatever place seems good to you. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> And he said to Sarah, See, I have given to your brother a thousand bits of silver so that your wrong may be put right; now your honour is clear in the eyes of all. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> Then Abraham made prayer to God, and God made Abimelech well again, and his wife and his women-servants, so that they had children. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> For the Lord had kept all the women of the house of Abimelech from having children, because of Sarah, Abraham&#8217;s wife. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot = \"6844414800\";\n    google_ad_width = 320;\n
