Genesis 26:9-11

EasyEnglish Bible

⁹ Abimelech called Isaac to come to him. He said, ‘Rebekah is your wife! Why did you say, “She is my sister”?’ Isaac replied, ‘I thought that someone might kill me because of her.’

¹⁰ Abimelech said, ‘You have done a bad thing against us! One of my men might have had sex with your wife. Then we would have been guilty of a bad sin.’ ¹¹ So Abimelech told his people, ‘I will kill anyone who hurts this man, or his wife.’
