Genesis 20:12 in Context — Genesis 20
10 Et Abimélec dit à Abraham: Quelle intention avais-tu pour agir de la sorte?
11 Abraham répondit: Je me disais qu’il n’y avait sans doute aucune crainte de Dieu dans ce pays, et que l’on me tuerait à cause de ma femme.
12 De plus, il est vrai qu’elle est ma sœur, fille de mon père; seulement, elle n’est pas fille de ma mère; et elle est devenue ma femme.
13 Lorsque Dieu me fit errer loin de la maison de mon père, je dis à Sara: Voici la grâce que tu me feras; dans tous les lieux où nous irons, dis de moi: C’est mon frère.
14 Abimélec prit des brebis et des bœufs, des serviteurs et des servantes, et les donna à Abraham; et il lui rendit Sara, sa femme.
