以撒就住在基拉耳。 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar 那地方的人问到他的妻子,他便说,那是我的妹子。原来他怕说,是我的妻子。他心里想,恐怕这地方的人为利百加的缘故杀我,因为她容貌俊美。 And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
他在那里住了许久。有一天,非利士人的王亚比米勒从窗户里往外观看,见以撒和他的妻子利百加戏玩。 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
亚比米勒召了以撒来,对他说,她实在是你的妻子,你怎吗说她是你的妹子。以撒说,我心里想,恐怕我因她而死。 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife and how saidst thou, She is my sister And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
