JUB 7 And the men of that place asked <em>him</em> of his wife; and he said, She <em>is</em> my sister, for he feared to say, <em>She is</em> my wife, lest, <em>said he</em>, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah because she <em>was</em> fair to look upon. NIV 7 When the men of that place asked him about his wife, he said, “She is my sister,” because he was afraid to say, “She is my wife.” He thought, “The men of this place might kill me on account of Rebekah, because she is beautiful.”
