Genesis 26:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ Abimelech called for Isaac and said, “This woman is your wife. Why did you say she was your sister?”

Isaac said to him, “I ·was afraid you would kill me so you could have [^Lthought I might die because of] her.”

¹⁰ Abimelech said, “What have you done to us? One of our ·men [^Lpeople] might have ·had sexual relations [lain] with your wife. Then ·we would have been guilty of a great sin [^Lyou would have brought guilt/punishment on us].”

¹¹ So Abimelech ·warned [commanded] ·everyone [all the people], “Anyone who touches this man or his wife will be put to death.”
