Genesis 12:11-17
11And it cameH935 to pass, when he wasH1961 comeH935 near to enter into EgyptH4714, that he saidH559 unto SaraiH8297 his wifeH802, Behold now, I knowH3045 that thou art a fair womanH802 to look upon: 12and it will come to pass, when the EgyptiansH4713 shall seeH7200 thee, that they will sayH559, This isH1961 his wifeH802: and they will killH2026 me, but they will save thee aliveH2421. 13SayH559, I pray thee, thou art my sisterH269; that it may be wellH3190 with me for thy sakeH4616, and that my soulH5315 may liveH2421 because of thee. 14And it cameH935 to pass, that, when AbramH87 wasH1961 comeH935 into EgyptH4714, the Egyptians beheld the womanH802 that she wasH1961 veryH3966 fair. 15And the princesH8269 of PharaohH6547 sawH7200 her, and praisedH1984 her to PharaohH6547: and the womanH802 was takenH3947 into Pharaoh’s houseH1004. 16And he dealt wellH3190 with AbramH87 for her sakeH5668: and he had sheepH6629, and oxenH1241, and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses, and camelsH1581. 17And Jehovah plagued PharaohH6547 and his houseH1004 with greatH1419 plaguesH5061 because of SaraiH8297, Abram’s wifeH802.
