Genesis 26:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶ So Isaac lived in Gerar.

Isaac Lies about His Wife

⁷ Later on, the men of that place asked about his wife, so he replied, “She’s my sister,” because he was afraid to call her “my wife.” He kept thinking, “…otherwise, the men around here will kill me on account of Rebekah, since she’s very beautiful.”

⁸ After he had been there awhile, Abimelech, king of the Philistines, looked out through a window and saw Isaac caressing^[a] his wife Rebekah.
