- 以撒就住在基拉耳。
- 那地方的人問到他的妻子、他便說、那是我的妹子.原來他怕說、是我的妻子.他心裡想、恐怕這地方的人、為利百加的緣故殺我、因為他容貌俊美。
- 他在那裡住了許久.有一天非利士人的王亞比米勒、從窗戶裡往外觀看、見以撒和他的妻子利百加戲玩。
- 亞比米勒召了以撒來、對他說、他實在是你的妻子.你怎麼說、他是你的妹子.以撒說、我心裡想、恐怕我因他而死。
- 亞比米勒說、你向我們作的是甚麼事呢、民中險些有人和你的妻同寢、把我們陷在罪裡。

- So Isaac stayed in Gerar.
- When the men of that place asked him about his wife, he said, "She is my sister," because he was afraid to say, "She is my wife." He thought, "The men of this place might kill me on account of Rebekah, because she is beautiful."
- When Isaac had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked down from a window and saw Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah.
- So Abimelech summoned Isaac and said, "She is really your wife! Why did you say, 'She is my sister'?" Isaac answered him, "Because I thought I might lose my life on account of her."
- Then Abimelech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the men might well have slept with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us."
