Genesis 20:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 So Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou that thou hast done this thing?
11 Then Abraham answered, Because I thought thus, Surely the [a]fear of God is not in this place, and they will slay me for my wife’s sake.
12 Yet in very deed she is my [b]sister: for she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother, and she is my wife.
