168. And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and
dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar. And Abraham
said of Sarah, his wife, _She is my sister_; and Abimelech king of Gerar
sent and took Sarah. But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and
said unto him. Behold thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou
hast taken; for she is _a man's wife_. But Abimelech had not come near
her; and he said, Lord; wilt thou slay also a righteous nation? Said he
not unto me, _She is my sister?_ and she, even she herself said, _He is
my brother_; in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have
I done this. Genesis xx. 1 to 5.
169. And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, _which she had borne
unto Abraham_, mocking. Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this
bondwoman, and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir
with my son, even with Isaac. And Abraham rose up early in the morning
_and took bread and a bottle of water_, and gave it unto Hagar (putting
it on her shoulder) and the child? and sent her away, and she departed,
_and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba_, Genesis xxi. 9, 10, 14.
