Kabbalah sur La Genèse 20:11
וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אַבְרָהָ֔ם כִּ֣י אָמַ֗רְתִּי רַ֚ק אֵין־יִרְאַ֣ת אֱלֹהִ֔ים בַּמָּק֖וֹם הַזֶּ֑ה וַהֲרָג֖וּנִי עַל־דְּבַ֥ר אִשְׁתִּֽי׃
Abraham répondit: "C’est que je pensais:‘Pour peu que la crainte de Dieu ne règne pas dans ce pays, ils me tueront à cause de ma femme.
Zohar
Come and behold, it is written, "Because I thought, 'Surely the fear of Elohim is not in this place'" (Beresheet 20:11). According to Rabbi Abba, this is the reason why he said, "She is my sister." He wanted to cleave to the Shechinah, as it is written, "Say to wisdom, you are my sister."Why? Because they had no faith in them, for if they had faith, he would not have needed that. He therefore said, "Because I thought, 'Surely the fear of Elohim is not is not in this place." The fear of Elohim is Faith.
