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.
9 Abimélec appela aussi Abraham, et lui dit: Qu’est-ce que tu nous as fait? Et en quoi t’ai-je offensé, que tu aies fait venir sur moi et sur mon royaume un si grand péché? Tu as commis à mon égard des actes qui ne doivent pas se commettre.
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.
