6 And God said unto him by a dream, I know that thou diddest this even with an upright mind, and I [a]kept thee also that thou shouldest not sin against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
7 Now then deliver the man his wife again: for he is a [b]Prophet, and he [c]shall pray for thee, that thou mayest live: but if thou deliver her not again, be sure that thou shalt die the death, thou, and all that thou hast.
8 Then Abimelech rising up early in the morning, called all his servants, and told all these things [d]unto them, and the men were sore afraid.
