Genesis 26:7-11

And the men
<0582>

of the place
<04725>

asked
<07592> (8799)

[him] of his wife
<0802>_;

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

She [is] my sister
<0269>_:

for he feared
<03372> (8804)

to say
<0559> (8800)_,

[She is] my wife
<0802>_;

lest, [said he], the men
<0582>

of the place
<04725>

should kill
<02026> (8799)

me for Rebekah
<07259>_;

because she [was] fair
<02896>

to look upon
<04758>_.

And it came to pass, when he had been there a long
<0748> (8804)

time
<03117>_,

that Abimelech
<040>

king
<04428>

of the Philistines
<06430>

looked out
<08259> (8686)

at
<01157>

a window
<02474>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)_,

and, behold, Isaac
<03327>

[was] sporting
<06711> (8764)

with Rebekah
<07259>

his wife
<0802>_.

And Abimelech
<040>

called
<07121> (8799)

Isaac
<03327>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, of a surety
<0389>

she [is] thy wife
<0802>_:

and how saidst
<0559> (8804)

thou, She [is] my sister
<0269>_?

And Isaac
<03327>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Because I said
<0559> (8804)_,

Lest I die
<04191> (8799)

for her.

And Abimelech
<040>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

What [is] this thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

unto us? one
<0259>

of the people
<05971>

might lightly
<04592>

have lien
<07901> (8804)

with thy wife
<0802>_,

and thou shouldest have brought
<0935> (8689)

guiltiness
<0817>

upon us.

And Abimelech
<040>

charged
<06680> (8762)

all [his] people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

He that toucheth
<05060> (8802)

this man
<0376>

or his wife
<0802>

shall surely
<04191> (8800)

be put to death
<04191> (8714)_.
