Genesis 26:8-10

International Standard Version

⁸ After he had been there awhile, Abimelech, king of the Philistines, looked out through a window and saw Isaac caressing^[a] his wife Rebekah.

⁹ So Abimelech called Isaac and confronted him. “She is definitely your wife!” he accused him, “So why did you claim, ‘She’s my sister?’”

Isaac responded, “Because I had thought ‘…otherwise, I’ll die on account of her.’”

¹⁰ “What have you done to us?” Abimelech asked. “Any minute now, one of the people could have had sex with your wife and you would have caused all of us to be guilty.”
