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 because of her.
And whanne Isaac was clepid, þe kyng seide, It is opyn, þat sche is thi wijf; whi liedist thou, þat sche was thi sistir? Isaac answerde, Y dredde, lest Y schulde die for hir.
