Abraham said, “Because I thought, ‘Surely the fear of God is not in this place. They will kill me for my wife’s sake.’ Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
Genesis 20:11-12
Abraham repeated the same sin he committed with Pharaoh of Egypt, this time with Abimelech, king of Gerar.
He again assumed the worst, but Abimelech turned out to be a God-fearing man.
Again, Abraham used a half-truth that basically was a lie.
May I not assume the worst of people, and may I be truly truthful, and not use lawyer buruk "truthful" lies.
