Genesis 20:11-13

11Abraham said, “I thought that because there are no God-fearing people in this place, I’d be killed because of my wife.

12Besides, she is my sister—my father’s daughter but not my mother’s. She is also my wife.

13When God had me leave my father’s home and travel around, I said to her, ‘Do me a favor: Wherever we go, say that I’m your brother.’ ”
