Genesis 26:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ Isaac had been there a long time. One day Abimelek, the king of the Philistines, looked down from a window. He saw Isaac hugging and kissing his wife Rebekah. ⁹ So Abimelek sent for Isaac. He said, “She’s really your wife, isn’t she? Why did you say she was your sister?”

Isaac answered him, “I thought I might lose my life because of her.”

¹⁰ Then Abimelek said, “What have you done to us? What if one of the men slept with your wife? Then you would have made us guilty.”
