Isaac’s Deception

⁷ When the men of the place asked about his wife, he said, “She is my sister,”^(A) for he was afraid to say “my wife,” thinking,^(B) “The men of the place will kill me on account of Rebekah, for she is a beautiful woman.”^{(C) 8} When Isaac had been there for some time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked down from the window and was surprised to see^[a] Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah.
