Genesis 26:9-11

The Voice

Abimelech: I see that she is your wife! Why did you say then, “She is my sister”?

Isaac: Because I thought I might die because of her!

Abimelech: ¹⁰ What’s the matter with you? What have you done to us? One of my people might easily have slept with your wife. Then you would have brought great shame and guilt upon me and my kingdom!

¹¹ (warning his people) Whoever so much as touches this man or his wife will be put to death.
