Genesis 12:12-20
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. 18And PharaohH6547 calledH7121 AbramH87, and saidH559, What is this that thou hast done unto me? whyH4100 didst thou not tellH5046 me that she was thy wifeH802? 19whyH4100 saidst thou, She is my sisterH269, so that I tookH3947 her to be my wifeH802? nowH6258 thereforeH6258 behold thy wifeH802, takeH3947 her, and go thy way. 20And PharaohH6547 gave menH376 charge concerning him: and they brought him on the way, and his wifeH802, and all that he had.
