Genesis 26:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ And the men of the place asked him of his wife. And he said, “She is my sister.” For he feared to say, ‘She is my wife’, “Lest,” said he, “the men of the place should kill me because of Rebekah” (for she was beautiful to the eye).

⁸ So, after he had been there a long time, Abimelech, King of the Philistines, looked out a window. And lo, he saw Isaac, flirting with Rebekah, his wife.

⁹ Then Abimelech called Isaac, and said, “Lo, she is certainly your wife. And why did you say, ‘She is my sister’?” To which Isaac answered, “Because I thought ‘It may be that I shall die for her.’”
