What does Genesis 26:7 mean?

When the men there asked about his wife, Isaac said, 'She's my sister.' He was afraid to say she was his wife, thinking, 'They might kill me to get her because she's so beautiful.' Genesis 26:7 - Modern Text Bible

(Isaac repeats Abraham's mistake, lying about Rebekah out of fear for his life, showing his struggle to fully trust God.)
