Génesis 20:8 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 20:8

Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning
Awaking upon the dream, could sleep no more, his thoughts running upon what had been said to him by the Lord in it: wherefore as soon as it was light he rose from his bed, and called all his servants;
his household servants, and particularly his courtiers and counsellors, who had advised him to take Sarah for his wife, and had been assisting in it: and told all those things in their ears:
how that God appeared to him in a dream, and told him that Sarah, whom he had taken into his house, was another man's wife, and that if he did not immediately return her to her husband, he would die, and all that belonged to him: and the men were sore afraid;
lest they should be struck with death; and perhaps they might call to mind the burning of Sodom and Gomorrah for their sins, they had lately heard of, and might fear that some such calamity would befall them.

Génesis 20:8 In-Context

6 En el sueño, Dios respondió:
—Sí, yo sé que tú eres inocente. Por eso no permití que pecaras contra mí ni dejé que la tocaras.

7 Ahora devuelve la mujer a su esposo; y él orará por ti, porque es profeta. Entonces vivirás; pero si no la devuelves, puedes estar seguro de que tú y todo tu pueblo morirán.

8 A la mañana siguiente, Abimelec se levantó temprano y enseguida reunió a todos sus siervos. Cuando les dijo a sus hombres lo que había ocurrido, ellos quedaron aterrados.

9 Entonces Abimelec mandó llamar a Abraham.
—¿Qué nos has hecho? —preguntó—. ¿Qué delito he cometido que merezca un trato como este, que nos haces culpables a mí y a mi reino de este gran pecado? ¡Nadie debería hacer jamás lo que tú has hecho!

10 ¿Qué te llevó a cometer semejante acto?
