Genesis 20:10-13

10And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What have you 1encountered, that you have done this thing?”

11Abraham said, “Because I thought, surely there is no 2fear of God in this place, and 3they will kill me because of my wife.

12Besides, she actually is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife;

13and it came about, when 4God caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said to her, ‘This is 5the kindness which you will show to me: 6everywhere we go, 7say of me, “He is my brother.”’”
