Genesis 26:7

26:7 When the men of that place asked him about his wife, he replied, “She is my sister.” ¹  He was afraid to say, “She is my wife,” for he thought to himself, ²  “The men of this place will kill me to get ³  Rebekah because she is very beautiful.”

Genesis 30:33

30:33 My integrity will testify for me ⁴  later on. ⁵  When you come to verify that I’ve taken only the wages we agreed on, ⁶  if I have in my possession any goat that is not speckled or spotted or any sheep that is not dark-colored, it will be considered stolen.” ⁷ 

¹ sn Rebekah, unlike Sarah, was not actually her husband’s sister.

² tn Heb “lest.” The words “for he thought to himself” are supplied because the next clause is written with a first person pronoun, showing that Isaac was saying or thinking this.

³ tn Heb “kill me on account of.”

⁴ tn Heb “will answer on my behalf.”

⁵ tn Heb “on the following day,” or “tomorrow.”

⁶ tn Heb “when you come concerning my wage before you.”

⁷ tn Heb “every one which is not speckled and spotted among the lambs and dark among the goats, stolen it is with me.”
