01:019:036 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their
           father.

01:019:037 And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab:  the
           same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.

01:019:038 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name
           Benammi:  the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto
           this day.

01:020:001 And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country,
           and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.

01:020:002 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister:  and
           Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.

01:020:003 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to
           him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou
           hast taken; for she is a man’s wife.

01:020:004 But Abimelech had not come near her:  and he said, lord, wilt
           thou slay also a righteous nation?

01:020:005 Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she
           herself said, He is my brother:  in the integrity of my heart
           and innocency of my hands have I done this.

01:020:006 And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst
           this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee
           from sinning against me:  therefore suffered I thee not to
           touch her.

01:020:007 Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet,
           and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live:  and if thou
           restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou,
           and all that are thine.

01:020:008 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all
           his servants, and told all these things in their ears:  and the
           men were sore afraid.

01:020:009 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast
           thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou
           hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast
           done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.

01:020:010 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou
           hast done this thing?

01:020:011 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is
           not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife’s sake.

01:020:012 And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my
           father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my
           wife.

01:020:013 And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my
           father’s house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness
           which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall
           come, say of me, He is my brother.
