Genesis 26:9-11

Christian Standard Bible

⁹ Abimelech sent for Isaac and said, “So she is really your wife! How could you say, ‘She is my sister’?”

Isaac answered him, “Because I thought I might die on account of her.”

¹⁰ Then Abimelech said, “What have you done to us? One of the people could easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us.”^{(A) 11} So Abimelech warned all the people, “Whoever harms this man or his wife will certainly be put to death.”
