Genesis 20:11-13

EasyEnglish Bible

¹¹ Abraham replied, ‘I did it because I was afraid. I thought, “The people here do not respect God. They will kill me so that they can take my wife from me.”^{[a] 12} And also, she really is my sister. She is the daughter of my father. But she is not the daughter of my mother. And she became my wife. ¹³ God told me to leave my father's house and to travel. At that time I said to Sarah, “This is how you can show that you love me. Everywhere we go, tell people that I am your brother.” ’
