Genesis 26:7-10

7When the men of the place asked about his wife, he said, “1She is my sister,” for he was 2afraid to say, “my wife,” thinking, “3the men of the place might kill me on account of Rebekah, for she is 4beautiful.”

8It came about, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out through a window, and saw, and behold, Isaac was caressing his wife Rebekah.

9Then Abimelech called Isaac and said, “Behold, certainly she is your wife! How then did you say, ‘She is my sister’?” And Isaac said to him, “Because I said, ‘I might die on account of her.’”

105Abimelech said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.”
