Genesis 20:5

⁵Eikö hän itse sanonut minulle: 'Hän on minun sisareni'? Ja samoin tämäkin sanoi: 'Hän on minun veljeni'. Olen tehnyt tämän vilpittömin sydämin ja viattomin käsin."

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.
