# Now ... her
This word is used here to mark a change from the story to information about Abimelech. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/writing-background]])
# Abimelek had not come near her
This is a polite way of saying he did not have sex with her. Alternate translation: "Abimelek had not had sexual relations with Sarah" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-euphemism]])
"Abimelek had not had sexual relations with Sarah"
# even a righteous nation
Here "nation" stands for the people. Abimelech is worried that God will punish not only him, but his people also. Alternate translation: "even a people who are innocent" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
"even a people who are innocent"
