(KJV.) GENESIS 26:5-8
Isaac and Abimelech:
(5) Because that Abraham obeyed my voice and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
(6) And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
(7) And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
(8) And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
ADDENDUM:
What was the reason why Abraham and Isaac both formulated deceptions about their wives?
