Then Abimelech called for Abraham.“ What have you done to us?” he demanded.“ What crime have I committed that deserves treatment like this, making me and my kingdom guilty of this great sin? No one should ever do what you have done!

“ If any of the common people sin by violating one of the Lord’s commands, but they don’t realize it, they are still guilty.

“ No, my brother!” she cried.“ Don’t be foolish! Don’t do this to me! Such wicked things aren’t done in Israel.Where could I go in my shame? And you would be called one of the greatest fools in Israel. Please, just speak to the king about it, and he will let you marry me.”

And if they are on the list, they will learn to be lazy and will spend their time gossiping from house to house, meddling in other people’s business and talking about things they shouldn’t.

“ Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. This is how you are to deal with those who sin unintentionally by doing anything that violates one of the Lord’s commands.
