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.

9 Depois chamou Abimeleque a Abraão e lhe disse: Que nos fizeste? e em que pequei eu contra ti, que atraíste sobre mim e sobre meu reino tão grande pecado? o que não devias fazer fizeste comigo.

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