Genesis 26:11 in Context — Genesis 26

9 Abimélec fit appeler Isaac, et dit: Certainement, c’est ta femme. Comment as-tu pu dire: C’est ma sœur? Isaac lui répondit: J’ai parlé ainsi, de peur de mourir à cause d’elle.

10 Et Abimélec dit: Qu’est-ce que tu nous as fait? Peu s’en est fallu que quelqu’un du peuple n’ait couché avec ta femme, et tu nous aurais rendus coupables.

11 Alors Abimélec fit cette ordonnance pour tout le peuple: Celui qui touchera à cet homme ou à sa femme sera mis à mort.

12 Isaac sema dans ce pays, et il recueillit cette année le centuple; car l’Éternel le bénit.

13 Cet homme devint riche, et il alla s’enrichissant de plus en plus, jusqu’à ce qu’il devint fort riche.
