9And Abimelech called Isaac and said, Behold, of a suretie she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said vnto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her. 10And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done vnto vs? one of the people might lightly haue lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest haue brought guiltinesse vpon vs. 11And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, Hee that toucheth this man or his wife, shall surely bee put to death. 12Then Isaac sowed in that land, and receiued in the same yeere an hundred fold: & the LORD blessed him. 13And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew vntill he became very great.
