See how you translated “pray” in Gen 20:7. Alternate translation: “Then Abraham prayed to God for King Abimelech,” or “asked God to be kind to the king,”
וַיִּרְפָּ֨א אֱלֹהִ֜ים אֶת אֲבִימֶ֧לֶךְ
and,healed ʼElohīm DOM ʼAⱱīmelek
Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “So God healed him”

Adultery would eventually destroy the covenant and the covenant people.
