Genesis 20:4

⁴Abimelech vero non tetigerat eam. Et ait: " Domine, num gentem etiam iustam interficies?

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.
