Genesis 20:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 Yet in very deed she is my [a]sister: for she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother, and she is my wife.
13 Now when God caused me to wander out of my father’s house, I said then to her, This is thy kindness that thou shalt show unto me in all places where we come, (A)Say thou of me, He is my brother.
14 Then took Abimelech sheep and beeves, and men servants, and women servants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
