Genesis 20:9-13

NSB(i) 9 Then Abimelech called Abraham. He said to him: »What have you done to us? And how have I sinned against you? You have brought a great sin on me and on my kingdom. You have done to me things that ought not to be done.« 10 Abimelech also asked Abraham: »What were you thinking when you did this?« 11 Abraham said: »I thought that because there are no people who reverence God in this place, I would be killed because of my wife. 12 »Besides, she is my sister. She is my father’s daughter, but not my mother’s. She is also my wife. 13 »When God had me leave my father’s home and travel around, I said to her: 'Do me a favor: Wherever we go, say that I am your brother.'«
