Genesis 20:13

And it happened when God (Elohim) made me wander away from my father's house (my family) [Gen. 12:1] that I said to her, 'This is the kindness (caring love) that I want you to show me, that in every place we come to, you shall say of me that I am your brother. "
[The word "wander" (Hebr. taah) means to walk but also to wander around both physically and in one's thoughts, which makes it possible that it was already during the early days after Abraham left Ur that he came to this conclusion in his reflections.]
