Genesis 26:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ So Abimelek sent for Isaac. He said, “She’s really your wife, isn’t she? Why did you say she was your sister?”

Isaac answered him, “I thought I might lose my life because of her.”

¹⁰ Then Abimelek said, “What have you done to us? What if one of the men slept with your wife? Then you would have made us guilty.”

¹¹ So Abimelek gave orders to all the people. He said, “Anyone who harms this man or his wife will surely be put to death.”
