Genesis 20:6 in Context — Genesis 20
4 Abimélec, qui ne s’était point approché d’elle, répondit: Seigneur, ferais-tu périr même une nation juste?
5 Ne m’a-t-il pas dit: C’est ma sœur? Et elle-même n’a-t-elle pas dit: C’est mon frère? J’ai agi avec un cœur pur et avec des mains innocentes.
6 Dieu lui dit en songe: Je sais que tu as agi avec un cœur pur; aussi t’ai-je empêché de pécher contre moi. C’est pourquoi je n’ai pas permis que tu la touchasses.
7 Maintenant, rends la femme de cet homme; car il est prophète, il priera pour toi, et tu vivras. Mais, si tu ne la rends pas, sache que tu mourras, toi et tout ce qui t’appartient.
8 Abimélec se leva de bon matin, il appela tous ses serviteurs, et leur rapporta toutes ces choses; et ces gens furent saisis d’une grande frayeur.
