10 Y dijo más Abimelech á Abraham: ¿Qué viste para que hicieses esto?

11 Y Abraham respondió: Porque dije para mí: Cierto no hay temor de Dios en este lugar, y me matarán por causa de mi mujer.

12 Y á la verdad también es mi hermana, hija de mi padre, mas no hija de mi madre, y toméla por mujer.

13 Y fué que, cuando Dios me hizo salir errante de la casa de mi padre, yo le dije: Esta es la merced que tú me harás, que en todos los lugares donde llegáremos, digas de mí: Mi hermano es.
