Genesis 12:11-17
11It came about when he 1came near to Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, “See now, I know that you are a 23beautiful woman; 124and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife’; and they will kill me, but they will let you live. 13Please say that you are 5my sister so that it may go well with me because of you, and that 67I may live on account of you.” 14It came about when Abram came into Egypt, the Egyptians 8saw that the woman was very beautiful. 15Pharaoh’s officials saw her and praised her to Pharaoh; and 9the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house. 16Therefore 10he treated Abram well for her sake; and 1112gave him sheep and oxen and donkeys and male and female servants and female donkeys and camels.
17But the Lord 13struck Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
