Genesis 20:12 in Context — Genesis 20

10 E disse mais Abimeleque a Abraão: Que viste para que fizesses isto?

11 E Abraão respondeu: Porque disse para mim: Certamente não há temor de Deus neste lugar, e me matarão por causa de minha mulher.

12 E na verdade também é minha irmã, filha de meu pai, mas não filha de minha mãe, e tomei-a por mulher.

13 E foi que, quando Deus me fez sair sem rumo da casa de meu pai, eu lhe disse: Esta é a lealdade que tu me farás, que em todos os lugares onde chegarmos, digas de mim: É meu irmão.

14 Então Abimeleque tomou ovelhas e vacas, e servos e servas, e deu-o a Abraão, e devolveu-lhe a Sara sua mulher.
