¹² When the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me but will let you live.

⁷ When the men of that place asked him about his wife, he said, “She is my sister,^(A)” because he was afraid to say, “She is my wife.” He thought, “The men of this place might kill me on account of Rebekah, because she is beautiful.”

Psalm 36^[a]
