===Family=== According to [[Book of Genesis]] 20:12, in conversation with the [[Philistines|Philistine]] king [[Abimelech|Abimelech of Gerar]], Abraham describes Sarah as both his wife and his [[half-sister]] ("my father's daughter, but not my mother's").<ref>{{Cite web|url= https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+20%3A12&version=NKJV|title=Bible Gateway passage: Genesis 20:12 | work = New King James Version|publisher=Bible Gateway|access-date= 2019-08-28}}</ref> Such unions were later explicitly banned in the [[Book of Leviticus]] ({{bibleverse||Leviticus|18:9|HE}}). However, some commentators identify her as Iscah (Genesis 11:29), a daughter of Abraham's brother [[Haran]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Yitzhaki |first=Solomon |title=RASH'I Commentary on the Torah}}</ref><ref name=":1">Schwartz, Howard, (1998).
