Genesis 20:9-12 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

9. And Abimelech called for Abraham and said to him, “What have you done to us? And how have I sinned against you that you brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? You have done things to me that should not be done.”

10. And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What were you thinking that you did this thing?”

11. And Abraham said, “Because I thought, surely there is no fear of God in this place; they will kill me on account of the matter of my wife.

12. Besides, she is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother. And she became my wife.
