Genesis 20:5 in Context — Genesis 20

3 Porém Deus veio a Abimeleque em sonhos de noite, e lhe disse: Eis que morto és por causa da mulher que tomaste, a qual é casada com marido.

4 Mas Abimeleque não havia chegado a ela, e disse: Senhor, matarás também a gente justa?

5 Não me disse ele: É minha irmã; e ela também disse: É meu irmão? Com sinceridade de meu coração, e com limpeza de minhas mãos fiz isto.

6 E disse-lhe Deus em sonhos: Eu também sei que com integridade de teu coração fizeste isto; e eu também te detive de pecar contra mim, e assim não te permiti que a tocasses.

7 Agora, pois, devolve a mulher a seu marido; porque é profeta, e orará por ti, e viverás. E se tu não a devolveres, sabe que certamente morrerás, com tudo o que for teu.
