2 Abraham said about his wife Sarah, "She is my sister." 20:2 Gn 12:13; 26:7 So King Abimelech of Gerar had Sarah brought to him.
5 Didn’t he himself say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ I did this with a clear conscience 20:5 Lit with integrity of my heart and clean 20:5 Lit cleanness of my hands."
11 Abraham replied, "I thought, ‘There is absolutely no fear of God in this place. 20:11 Neh 5:15; Pr 16:6 They will kill me because of my wife.’ 12 Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father though not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife. 13 So when God had me wander from my father’s house, 20:13 Gn 12:1 I said to her: Show your loyalty to me wherever we go and say about me, ‘He’s my brother.’ " 20:13 Gn 12:13; 20:5
