Génesis 26

Textbibel von Kautzsch und Weizsäcker

7Als sich aber die Bewohner des Orts nach seinem Weibe erkundigen, da sprach er: Sie ist meine Schwester! Denn er fürchtete sich zu sagen: Sie ist mein Weib; denn, dachte er, die Bewohner des Orts könnten mich sonst umbringen wegen Rebeka, weil sie so schön ist.

Reina-Valera 1909

7Y los hombres de aquel lugar le preguntaron acerca de su mujer; y él respondió: Es mi hermana; porque tuvo miedo de decir: Es mi mujer; que tal vez, dijo, los hombres del lugar me matarían por causa de Rebeca; porque era de hermoso aspecto.

King James Version

7And 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.

World English Bible

7The men of the place asked him about his wife. He said, “She is my sister,” for he was afraid to say, “My wife”, lest, he thought, “the men of the place might kill me for Rebekah, because she is beautiful to look at.”
