- 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。

- And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
