GE-12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy
country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto
a
land that I will show thee:
GE-12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless
thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
GE-12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him
that
curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be
blessed.
GE-12:4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and
Lot
went with him: and Abram [was] seventy and five years old when he
departed out of Haran.
GE-12:5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's
son, and all
their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they
had
gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of
Canaan;
and into the land of Canaan they came.
GE-12:6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of
Sichem,
unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite [was] then in the
land.
GE-12:7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy
seed
will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the
LORD,
who appeared unto him.
GE-12:8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east
of
Bethel, and pitched his tent, [having] Bethel on the west, and
Hai on
the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and
called upon
the name of the LORD.
GE-12:9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
GE-12:10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went
down into
Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine [was] grievous in the
land.
GE-12:11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter
into
Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that
thou
[art] a fair woman to look upon:
GE-12:12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians
shall
see thee, that they shall say, This [is] his wife: and they will
kill
me, but they will save thee alive.
GE-12:13 Say, I pray thee, thou [art] my sister: that it may be
well
with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
GE-12:14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into
Egypt,
the Egyptians beheld the woman that she [was] very fair.
GE-12:15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her
before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
GE-12:16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had
sheep,
and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and
she
asses, and camels.
GE-12:17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great
plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
GE-12:18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What [is] this
[that]
thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she
[was] thy
wife?
GE-12:19 Why saidst thou, She [is] my sister? so I might have
taken
her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take [her],
and go
thy way.
GE-12:20 And Pharaoh commanded [his] men concerning him: and
they
sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
