| Genesis 26:8 | And when very many days were passed, and he abode there, Abimelech, king of the Palestines, looking out through a window, saw him playing with Rebecca, his wife. | His wife; using greater familiarity than a grave and virtuous man, like Isaac, would offer to do with his sister, or with another person's wife. --- Sin, or punishment, (Menochius) such as Abimelech's father had formerly experienced.
