Genesis 26:8 in Context — Genesis 26
6 Et Isaac resta à Guérar.
7 Lorsque les gens du lieu faisaient des questions sur sa femme, il disait: C’est ma sœur; car il craignait, en disant ma femme, que les gens du lieu ne le tuassent, parce que Rebecca était belle de figure.
8 Comme son séjour se prolongeait, il arriva qu’Abimélec, roi des Philistins, regardant par la fenêtre, vit Isaac qui plaisantait avec Rebecca, sa femme.
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.
