5. because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
6. And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
7. and the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, My wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah: because she was fair to look upon.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lain with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.
11. And Abimelech charged all the people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
12. And Isaac sowed in that land, and found in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.
13. And the man waxed great, and grew more and more until he became very great:
14. and he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great household: and the Philistines envied him.
