Amplified Bible
Genesis 12:14-20
14And when Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that Sarai was very beautiful.
15Pharaoh’s princes (officials) also saw her and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken [for the purpose of marriage] into Pharaoh’s house (harem).
16Therefore Pharaoh treated Abram well for her sake; he acquired sheep, oxen, male and female donkeys, male and female servants, and camels.
17But the Lord punished Pharaoh and his household with severe plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
18Then Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?
19Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her as my wife? Now then, here is your wife; take her and go!”
20So Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him; and they escorted him on his way, with his wife and all that he had.
