# even a righteous nation
|
|
|
|
Here "nation" stands for the people. Abimelech is worried that God will punish not only him, but his people also. AT: "even a people who are innocent" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

# Did he not himself say to me, 'She is my sister?'
|
|
|
|
Abimelech used this rhetorical question to remind God of something God already knew. This can be translated as a statement. AT: "Abraham himself told me, 'She is my sister.'" or "Abraham said that she is his sister." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
|
|

|
# Did he not himself say ... Even she herself
|
|
|
|
The words "he himself" and "she herself" are used for emphasis to bring attention to Abraham and Sarah and to blame them for what happened. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rpronouns]])

|
# I have done this in the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands
|
|
