Genesis 26:9-11

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁹ Abimelek called Isaac and said, “It is obvious that she is your wife. So why did you say, ‘She is my sister’?”

Isaac said to him, “Because I thought, ‘If I do not, I will die because of her.’”

¹⁰ Abimelek said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us!”

¹¹ Abimelek gave this command to all the people: “Whoever touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.”
