And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:(Genesis 26:6)

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 for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.(Genesis 26:7)

And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.(Genesis 26:8)

And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.

And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.(Genesis 26:10)

And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.(Genesis 26:11)

Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.(Genesis 26:12)
