It depends on the person and their point of view. I would not think it is right just something that has to be done.

∙ 12y agoNot so much as lie, but we see in Genesis when Abraham was asked who Sarah was by pharaoh, he answered she is my sister. If he had said wife then pharaoh would have certainly killed Abraham to make sarah his own wife.
However this was not a lie. Sarah, as well as being Abrahams wife, was indeed his sister also. Therefore Abraham didn't lie. If pharaoh asked, is this your wife, abraham would certainly of said yes.
This had repercussions though, as now the Egyptians did not trust the Hebrew people.
