Abraham and Abimelech

1 From there Abraham journeyed toward the territory of the Negeb and lived between Kadesh and Shur; and he sojourned in Gerar. 2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah. 3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night and said to him, “Behold, you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is a man’s wife.” 4 Now Abimelech had not approached her. So he said, “Lord, will you kill an innocent people? 5 Did he not himself say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this.” 6 Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that you have done this in the integrity of your heart, and it was I who kept you from sinning against me. Therefore I did not let you touch her. 7 Now then, return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet, so that he will pray for you, and you shall live. But if you do not return her, know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours.” 8 So Abimelech rose early in the morning and called all his servants and told them all these things. And the men were very much afraid. 9 Then Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, “What have you done to us? And how have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me things that ought not to be done.” 10 And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What did you see, that you did this thing?” 11 Abraham said, “I did it because I thought, ‘There is no fear of God at all in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.’ 12 Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father though not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife. 13 And when God caused me to wander from my father’s house, I said to her, ‘This is the kindness you must do me: at every place to which we come, say of me, “He is my brother.”’” 14 Then Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and male servants and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and returned Sarah his wife to him. 15 And Abimelech said, “Behold, my land is before you; dwell where it pleases you.” 16 To Sarah he said, “Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. It is a sign of your innocence in the eyes of all* who are with you, and before everyone you are vindicated.” 17 Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and also healed his wife and female slaves so that they bore children. 18 For the Lord had closed all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.

Abraham y Sara en Gerar

1 Desde allí Abraham viajó hacia la tierra del Neguev, acampó entre Cades y Shur, y habitó como forastero en Gerar. 2 Y decía Abraham respecto a Sara, su mujer: Es mi hermana. Así que Abimelec, rey de Gerar, mandó a tomar a Sara. 3 Pero ’Elohim vino a Abimelec en un sueño aquella noche, y le dijo: He aquí, eres hombre muerto a causa de la mujer que tomaste, pues ella está casada y tiene marido. 4 Pero Abimelec, que no se había llegado a ella, dijo entonces: Señor, ¿matarás también a gente inocente? 5 ¿no me dijo él: ella es mi hermana, y ella también dijo: es mi hermano? Con integridad de corazón y limpieza de manos he hecho esto. 6 Y ’Elohim le dijo en el sueño: También Yo sé que con integridad de tu corazón has hecho esto, y Yo también te retuve de pecar contra mí, por eso no te permití tocarla. 7 Devuelve ahora a la mujer de ese hombre, porque es profeta, y él orará por ti, y vivirás. Pero si no la devuelves, sabe que de cierto morirás, tú y todos los tuyos. 8 Abimelec entonces se levantó temprano por la mañana, y llamando a todos sus siervos, les habló todas estas cosas en privado, y aquellos hombres sintieron un gran temor. 9 Luego Abimelec llamó a Abraham, y le dijo: ¿Qué nos has hecho? ¿En qué he pecado contra ti, que has traído contra mí y contra mi reino tan gran pecado? ¡Hiciste conmigo cosas que no se deben hacer! 10 Dijo además Abimelec a Abraham: ¿Qué te indujo a hacer cosa semejante? 11 Respondió Abraham: Porque me dije: Ciertamente no hay temor de Dios en este lugar, y me matarán por el asunto de mi mujer. 12 Aunque, en efecto, ella es mi hermana, hija de mi padre, pero no hija de mi madre, y así vino a ser mi mujer. 13 Y sucedió que cuando ’Elohim me hizo salir errante de casa de mi padre, yo le dije a ella: De tu parte me harás este favor: A todo lugar que lleguemos, allí dirás de mí: él es mi hermano. 14 Entonces Abimelec tomó un rebaño y una vacada, siervos y siervas, y se lo dio a Abraham, y le devolvió a Sara su mujer. 15 Luego dijo Abimelec: Mira, mi tierra está delante de ti, establécete donde bien te parezca. 16 Y dijo a Sara: Fíjate, doy a tu hermano mil piezas de plata. Mira, esto será para ti como un velo para los ojos ante todos los que están contigo. Así ante todos quedas vindicada. 17 Y Abraham oró a ’Elohim, y ’Elohim sanó a Abimelec, y a su mujer y a sus siervas, las cuales tuvieron hijos, 18 pues YHVH había cerrado por completo toda matriz de la casa de Abimelec por el asunto de Sara, mujer de Abraham.
