Because he was afraid that they would kill him and take his wife because she was so beautiful. He told them that he was her Brother. This was not actually a full lie, since Sara was indeed his half sister.

She was his half sister and his wife, so wheres the lie. Also this was before the law was given. Study your bibles people.
What you see is not as real as God. What you see should prove to you there is a God. If you try and tell me we just became without a creator then you need to go rethink some things. Ask any athiest how the whole universe came about to exist and I mean every galaxy, planet and star, also the ones still being created. Ask how the earth has one set speed it is to turn and one set speed to rotate around the sun. Also the sun is just at the right distance for life to be sustained here on earth which includes billions of diverse lifeforms (That according to athiests just popped out of nowhere or crawled out of the Ocean). Is it all just coincedence? Also ask them to get an empty mason jar and set it in their house and go back to the jar 20 or 30 years later or more if needed and see whats in it..........you know what would be in it? Still nothing. You have to have a Creator and it scares athiests.
Also for the big bang theory supporters........where did the material that went bang come from and the energy to make it go BANG? I'll tell you, God created it and he may have made a "BIG BANG" out of it to put it where he wanted it I won't dispute that because the Universe is still expanding. All in all the athiests have too many questians to answer themselves that the Bible already explains. I'd rather believe there is a God and die and if there isn't I will then lose nothing but if there is a God and Creator and I've argued to people he isn't then I lose alot. Think it over friend. Are you really sure about denying God? The evidence is against you. The Bible, the only Holy written word of God explains all things past, present and future. There is no excuse for not having the knowledge, it's there.

You're talking about Abraham Lefkovitz, right?... He lied about not having enough money to buy an souvineer Egyptian sundial. Why?... cuz he's cheap and he thought he could get a better price.

He lied that Sarah was his sister so that the Pharoah wouldn't kill him in order to coerce (rape) Sarah. ie to save his life. He figure if he stated he wasn't his husband.. The Pharoah would commit the lesser of the two evil.. kill and rape or rape.

He told them that his wife was really his sister, so that they would spare his life.Genesis chapter 20 KJV.

He told them that Sarai was his sister, and he did this to protect her from rape by their hands, as she was a very beautiful woman...
