Genesis 20:7

⁷Nunc ergo redde viro suo uxorem, quia propheta est: et orabit pro te, et vives: si autem nolueris reddere, scito quod morte morieris tu, et omnia qu tua sunt.

Genesis 20 recounts Abraham's deceptive act of presenting his wife Sarah as his sister to King Abimelech of Gerar, fearing for his life. This incident, a troubling echo of a previous failure, is complicated by God's direct intervention to protect Sarah and confront Abimelech in a dream. The chapter highlights God's faithfulness to His covenant promises despite human weakness, His sovereign protection of His chosen, and the surprising righteousness of a pagan king in contrast to Abraham's fear-driven deceit.
