WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[9] Abimelech called Isaac, and said, "Behold, surely she is your wife. Why did you say, 'She is my sister?'" Isaac said to him, "Because I said, 'Lest I die because of her.'" [10] Abimelech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us!" [11] Abimelech charged all the people, saying, "He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death."
