Genesis 26:9-12 Common English Bible (CEB)

9. So Abimelech summoned Isaac and said, "She’s your wife, isn’t she? How could you say, ‘She’s my sister’?"Isaac responded, "Because I thought that I might be killed because of her."

10. Abimelech said, "What are you trying to do to us? Before long, one of the people would have slept with your wife; and you would have made us guilty."

11. Abimelech gave orders to all of the people, "Anyone who touches this man or his wife will be put to death!"

12. Isaac planted grain in that land and reaped one hundred shearim that year because the Lord had blessed him.
