7 Da nu Mændene der på Stedet forhørte sig om hans Hustru, sagde han: "Det er min Søster!" Thi han turde ikke sige, at hun var hans Hustru, af Frygt for at Mændene der på Stedet skulde slå ham ihjel for ebekkas Skyld; thi hun var meget smuk.

3449. And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore are ye come unto me, and ye have hated me, and have sent me away from you? That this signifies why should they desire the Divine seeing that they denied it and were opposed to that which is in the internal sense of the Word, is evident from what has been said above at verses 15-16, 19-21.
