Compare all
8 So Abimelech rose early in the morning, called all his servants, and told all these things in their hearing; and the men were very much afraid.
9 And Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, “What have you done to us? How have I1 offended you, athat you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to me bthat ought not to be done.”  
10 Then Abimelech said to Abraham, “What did you have in view, that you have done this thing?”
11 And Abraham said, “Because I thought, surely athe fear of God is not in this place; and bthey will kill me on account of my wife.  
12 But indeed ashe is truly my sister. She is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.  
13 And it came to pass, when aGod caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said to her, ‘This is your kindness that you should do for me: in every place, wherever we go, bsay of me, “He is my brother.” ’ ”
