Book of Genesis - Chapter 26 - Verse 7
Meaning
In this verse from the book of Genesis, we see the story of Isaac and Rebekah as they traveled to a new land. When they arrived, Isaac was asked about his relationship with Rebekah, and out of fear, he said she was his sister rather than his wife. This decision was made to protect himself from potential harm, as he believed that if the men of the place knew Rebekah was his wife, they might kill him in order to have her for themselves. This verse highlights the importance of trust in relationships and the lengths to which people will go to ensure their safety. It also serves as a reminder of the consequences of deception and the need to always be honest in our interactions with others.
