Emet and Sheker: Bein Adam L'Chaveiro

Yaakov epitomizes the trait of truth, yet he deceives Esav twice and receives the brachot from Yitzchak. Avraham and Yitzchak both say their wives are their sisters.

Emet vs. Sheker is not about what you say, it's about what the other person hears/understands.

Changing details for the sake of peace/shalom bayit or humility.
