[The Pentateuch]

And Isaac dwelled in Gerar. And y• men of the place asked him of his wife / & he said that she was his sister: for he feared to call her his wife lest the men of the place should have killed him for her sake / because she was bewtyf•llto the eye. And it happened after he had been there long time / y• Abimelech king of y• Philistines looked out at a window & saw Isaac sporting with Rebecca his wife. And Abimelech send for Isaac & said: see / she is of a surety thy wife / and why saidest thou that she was thy sister? And Isaac said unto him: I thought that I might perad venture have dyed for her sake. Then said Abimelech: why hast thou done this unto us? one of the people might lightly have line by thy wife & so shouldest thou have brought sin upon us Than Abimelech charged all his people saying: he that toucheth this man or his wife / shall surely •ye for it.
