“Abimelech 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 on us!”
Genesis 26:10 (WEB)
Context Reading
8When he had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was caressing Rebekah, his wife. 9Abimelech called Isaac, and said, “Behold, surely she is your wife. Why did you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac said to him, “Because I said, ‘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 on us!” 11Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, “He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death.” 12Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. Yahweh blessed him.
