What is happening here?
Genesis 20 records Abraham sojourning in Gerar and again identifying Sarah as his sister. Abimelech takes Sarah, but God appears to him in a dream, warns him that she is a married woman, and prevents him from sinning. Abimelech confronts Abraham, restores Sarah, gives gifts, and provides vindication. Abraham prays, and God heals Abimelech’s household, which had been closed because of Sarah.
