Gen. 26:6      Gen. 26:8

Genesis 26:7

The men of the place asked him about his wife, and he said, "She is my sister," for he was afraid to say, "My wife." – [He thought:] "Otherwise, the men of the place would kill me for Rebekah's sake, because she is so beautiful to look at." [Isaac does the same thing his father Abraham did twice before, see Gen. 12:13–19; 20:2–5. As in Abraham's case, fear was the reason for the lie.]

ἐπηρώτησαν δὲ οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ τόπου περὶ Ρεβεκκας τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν ἀδελφή μού ἐστιν ἐφοβήθη γὰρ εἰπεῖν ὅτι γυνή μού ἐστιν μήποτε ἀποκτείνωσιν αὐτὸν οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ τόπου περὶ Ρεβεκκας ὅτι ὡραία τῇ ὄψει ἦν
