Genesis 20:10-12

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

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.
