SEV Biblia
Y llamó Abimelec a Isaac, y dijo: He aquí ella es de cierto tu mujer; ¿cómo, pues, dijiste: Es mi hermana? E Isaac le respondió, porque dije: Por ventura moriré por causa de ella.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-11 - There is nothing in Isaac's denial of his wife to be imitated, nor eve excused. The temptation of Isaac is the same as that which overcame his father, and that in two instances. This rendered his conduct the greater sin. The falls of those who are gone before us are so man rocks on which others have split; and the recording of them is lik placing buoys to save future mariners. This Abimelech was not the sam that lived in Abraham's days, but both acted rightly. The sins of professors shame them before those that are not themselves religious.
