This is thy kindness which thou shalt show unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of ing, He is my brother. 14 And Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and men-servants, and women-ser. vants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife. 15 And Abimelech said, Behold, c my land is before thee: dwell 6 where it pleaseth thee. 16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver; behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes,unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was e reproved. 17 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maid-servants; and they bare chil aren. 18 For the LORD g had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, [because of Sarah, Abraham's wife. 5 And Abraham was an hundred years old when his son Isaac was born unto him.] unto me 6 And Sarah said, God hath male mele He.11.11. to laugh, i so that all that hear will laugh f c.17.19 with me. gc.26.15-22. 7 And she said, Who would have I said h Ex.12.48. unto Abraham, that Sarah should havel Le. 12.3. given children suck? for I have borne Ac.7.8. him a son in his old age. i Ps.126.2.
