Genesis 20:6 in Context — Genesis 20

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.

8 Então Abimeleque se levantou de manhã, e chamou a todos os seus servos, e disse todas estas palavras aos ouvidos deles; e temeram os homens em grande maneira.
