And she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this.” 6Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that you have done this in the integrity of your heart, and it was I who kept you from sinning bagainst me. Therefore I did not let you touch her. 7Now then, return the man’s wife, cfor he is a prophet, so that he will pray for you, and you shall live. But if you do not return her, know that you shall surely die, you dand all who are yours.”Genesis 26:10-11
