Genesis 12:10-20 - Abram In Egypt

¹⁰ And it came to pass that there was a famine, in the land, - so Abram went down towards Egypt, to sojourn there, because grievous, was the famine in the land. ¹¹ And it came to pass when he had come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife: Behold! I beseech thee I know that a woman fair to look on, thou art: ¹² so will it come to pass when the Egyptians behold thee, that they will say, His wife, this! and will slay me while thee, they preserve alive. ¹³ Say, I beseech thee that my sister, art thou, - to the end it may be well with me for thy sake, so shall my soul be preserved alive because of thee. ¹⁴ And so it was when Abram entered into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman, that fair, was she exceedingly. ¹⁵ And the princes of Pharaoh beheld her, and praised her unto Pharaoh, - so the woman was taken to the house of Pharaoh; ¹⁶ and with Abram, dealt he well for her sake, - so that he came to have flocks and herds and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses and camels.

¹⁷ And Yahweh plagued Pharaoh with great plagues, also his house, - for the matter of Sarai, wife of Abram. ¹⁸ And Pharaoh called out to Abram, and said, What is this thou hast done to me? Wherefore didst thou not tell me, that she was, thy wife? ¹⁹ Wherefore saidst thou My sister, she; and so I was about to take her to me, to wife? But now, lo! thy wife take her and go thy way. ²⁰ And Pharaoh gave command concerning him unto certain men, - and sent him away, with his wife and all that he had.
