Genesis 26:8-12
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 26

8Now it came about, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked down through a window, and saw them, and behold, Isaac was caressing his wife Rebekah. 9Then Abimelech called Isaac and said, 'Behold, she certainly is your wife! So how is it that you said, ‘She is my sister’?' And Isaac said to him, 'Because I thought, ‘otherwise I might be killed on account of her.’?' 10And Abimelech said, 'What is this that you have done to us? One of the people might easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.' 11So Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, 'He who touches this man or his wife will certainly be put to death.'
12Now Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundred times as much. And the Lord blessed him,

Chapter 26

8And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife. 9And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
10And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us. 11And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
12Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.

Chapter 26

8When Isaac had been there for some time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked down from the window and was surprised to see Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah.
9Abimelech sent for Isaac and said, "So she is really your wife! How could you say, ‘She is my sister’?" Isaac answered him, "Because I thought I might die on account of her."
10Then Abimelech said, "What is this you’ve done to us? One of the people could easily have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us." 11So Abimelech warned all the people, "Whoever harms this man or his wife will certainly be put to death."
12Isaac sowed seed in that land, and in that year he reaped a hundred times what was sown. The Lord blessed him,

Chapter 26

8But some time later, Abimelech, king of the Philistines, looked out his window and saw Isaac caressing Rebekah.
9Immediately, Abimelech called for Isaac and exclaimed, 'She is obviously your wife! Why did you say, ‘She is my sister’?' 'Because I was afraid someone would kill me to get her from me,' Isaac replied.
10How could you do this to us?' Abimelech exclaimed. 'One of my people might easily have taken your wife and slept with her, and you would have made us guilty of great sin.'
11Then Abimelech issued a public proclamation: 'Anyone who touches this man or his wife will be put to death!'
12When Isaac planted his crops that year, he harvested a hundred times more grain than he planted, for the Lord blessed him.

How then could you say, ‘She is my sister’?" Isaac said to him, "Because I thought, ‘Lest I die because of her.’" 10Abimelech 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 upon us." 11So Abimelech warned all the people, saying, "Whoever touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death."
12And Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold. The Lord blessed him,
