3396. Verses 10-11 And Abimelech said, What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us. And Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, Anyone touching this man and his wife will surely die. 'Abimelech said, What is this you have done to us?' means anger. 'One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us' means that it could have been adulterated and so profaned. 'And Abimelech commanded all the people, saying' means a decree. 'Anyone touching this man and his wife will surely die' means that Divine Truth and Divine Good were not to be disclosed, insomuch that not even any approach was to be made towards them by faith because of the danger of eternal condemnation if they were profaned.
