Genesis 12:10-16

10There was a famine in the land. Abram went to Egypt to stay awhile because the famine was severe.

11When he was about to enter Egypt, Abram said to his wife Sarai, “I know that you’re a beautiful woman.

12When the Egyptians see you, they’ll say, ‘This is his wife!’ Then they’ll kill me but let you live.

13Please say that you’re my sister. Then everything will be alright for me, and because of you I will live.”

14When Abram arrived in Egypt, the Egyptians saw how very beautiful his wife was.

15When Pharaoh’s officials saw her, they raved about her to Pharaoh, so Sarai was taken to Pharaoh’s palace.

16Everything went well for Abram because of her, and he was given sheep, cattle, donkeys, male and female slaves, and camels.
