Genesis 20:6Wrench

BACK NEXT
So Elohim answers AbiMelech {Father-King} in the dream, β€œYes, I know that you [tried to marry Sarah] with sincerity in your heart.
So I held you back from sinning against me.
That's why I didn't let you touch Sarah.

Note: You're not innocent. But you didn't intend to do wrong.
You were misguided, thinking according to wrong principles.
