ગુજરાતીઉત્પત્તિ ૨૦:૫
શું ઇબ્રાહિમે પોતે જ મને કહ્યું ન હતું કે, ‘તે મારી બહેન છે?’ વળી તે સ્ત્રીએ પોતે પણ કહ્યું હતું કે, ‘તે મારો ભાઈ છે.’ મેં મારા સાચા હૃદયથી તથા નિર્દોષ હાથથી આ કામ કર્યું છે.”
हिन्दीउत्पत्ति २०:५
क्या उसी ने स्वयं मुझसे नहीं कहा, ‘वह मेरी बहन है?’ और उस स्त्री ने भी आप कहा, ‘वह मेरा भाई है,’ मैंने तो अपने मन की खराई और अपने व्यवहार की सच्चाई से यह काम किया।”

In context

3But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, “Behold, you are a dead man, because of the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man’s wife.”

4Now Abimelech had not come near her. He said, “Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation?

5Didn’t he tell me, ‘She is my sister’? She, even she herself, said, ‘He is my brother.’ I have done this in the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands.”

6God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also withheld you from sinning against me. Therefore I didn’t allow you to touch her.

7Now therefore, restore the man’s wife. For he is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. If you don’t restore her, know for sure that you will die, you, and all who are yours.”
