Genesis 26:6 In-Context

4 I will give you as many descendants as there are stars in the sky, and I will give them all this territory. All the nations will ask me to bless them as I have blessed your descendants.

5 I will bless you, because Abraham obeyed me and kept all my laws and commands."

6 So Isaac lived at Gerar.

7 When the men there asked about his wife, he said that she was his sister. He would not admit that she was his wife, because he was afraid that the men there would kill him to get Rebecca, who was very beautiful.

8 When Isaac had been there for some time, King Abimelech looked down from his window and saw Isaac and Rebecca making love.
