Genesis 12:14-20

14SoH1961 when AbramH87 enteredH935 EgyptH4714, the EgyptiansH4713 sawH7200 thatH3588 the womanH802 was veryH3966 beautifulH3303H1931. 15When Pharaoh’sH6547 officialsH8269 sawH7200 Sarai, they commendedH1984 herH853 toH413 him, and sheH802 was takenH3947 into the palaceH1004 of PharaohH6547. 16He treated AbramH87 wellH3190 on her accountH5668, and Abram acquiredH1961 sheepH6629 and cattleH1241, male and female donkeysH2543H860, menservantsH5650 and maidservantsH8198, and camelsH1581.

17The LORD, howeverH3068, afflictedH5060 PharaohH6547 and his householdH1004 with severeH1419 plaguesH5061 because ofH5921H1697 Abram’sH87 wifeH802 SaraiH8297. 18So PharaohH6547 summonedH7121 AbramH87 and askedH559, “WhatH4100H2063 have you doneH6213 to me? WhyH4100 didn’tH3808 you tellH5046 me sheH1931 was your wifeH802? 19WhyH4100 did you sayH559, ‘She isH1931 my sisterH269,’ so that I tookH3947 herH853 as my wifeH802? Now thenH6258, hereH2009 is your wifeH802. Take herH3947 and goH1980!”

20Then PharaohH6547 gave his menH582 ordersH6680 concerningH5921 Abram, and they sent him awayH7971H853 with his wifeH802 and all his possessionsH3605.
