9. Then Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, What have you done to us? And how have I offended you that you have brought on me and my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me what ought not to be done [to anyone].
10. And Abimelech said to Abraham, What did you see [in us] that [justified] you in doing such a thing as this?
11. And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely there is no reverence or fear of God at all in this place, and they will slay me because of my wife.
12. But truly, she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father but not of my mother; and she became my wife.
