Kejadian 20:6

20:6 Then in the dream God replied to him, “Yes, I know that you have done this with a clear conscience. ¹  That is why I have kept you ²  from sinning against me and why ³  I did not allow you to touch her.

Kejadian 20:18

20:18 For the Lord ⁴  had caused infertility to strike every woman ⁵  in the household of Abimelech because he took ⁶  Sarah, Abraham’s wife.

[20:6]  ¹ tn Heb “with the integrity of your heart.”

[20:6]  ² tn Heb “and I, even I, kept you.”

[20:6]  ³ tn Heb “therefore.”

[20:18]  ⁴ tn In the Hebrew text the clause begins with “because.”

[20:18]  ⁵ tn Heb had completely closed up every womb.” In the Hebrew text infinitive absolute precedes the finite verb for emphasis.

[20:18]  sn The Lord had closed up every womb. This fact indicates that Sarah was in Abimelech’s household for weeks or months before the dream revelation was given (20:6-7). No one in his household could have children after Sarah arrived on the scene.

[20:18]  ⁶ tn Heb “because of.” The words “he took” are supplied in the translation for clarity.
