[The Pentateuch]

And God came to Abimelech by night in a dream and said to him: See / thou art but a ⟨image 34⟩deed man for the woman's safe which thou hast taken away / for she is a mans wife. But Abimelech had not yet come nigh her / and therefore said: lord wilt thou slay righteous people? said not he unto me / that she was his sister? ye and said not she herself that he was her brother? with a pure heart and innocent hands have I done this.

And God came to Abimelech by nyghte in a dreame and sayde to him: Se / thou art but a ⟨image 34⟩deed man for the womās safe which thou hast taken awaye / for she is a mans wyfe. But Abimelech had not yet come nye her / and therfore sayde: lorde wilt thou sley rightewes people? sayde not he vnto me / that she was hys sister? yee and sayde not she herself that he was hir brother? wyth a pure herte and innocent handes haue I done this.

And God said unto him in a dream. I wot it well that thou diddest it in the pureness of thy heart. And therefore I kept y• that thou shouldest not sin against me / nether suffered I the to come nigh her. Now therefore deliver the man his wife again / for he is a prophet. And let him pray fo: the that thou mayst live. But and if thou deliver her not again / be sure that thou shalt dye the death / with all that thou hast.

And God sayde vnto him in a dreame. I wot it well that thou dydest it in the purenesse of thi herte. And therfore I kepte y• that thou shuldest not synne agenst me / nether suffred I the to come nygh her. Now therefore delyuer the mā his wyfe ageyne / for he is a prophete. And let him praye fo: the that thou mayst lyue. But and yf thou delyuer her not agayne / be sure that thou shalt dye the deth / with all that thou hast.
