What does the Bible say about lying? Scripture teaches that lying is sin because Jehovah is truthful and Satan is the father of the lie.
EXODUS 1:15–21 — Did the Hebrew Midwives Lie to Pharaoh, and Was Their Deception Approved by God?
The Hebrew midwives did not practice malicious lying but rightly withheld truth from a ruler intent on murder, and God approved their fear of Him.
