Genesis 12:10-16
10Now there was 1a famine in the land; so Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a time, because the famine was 2severe in the land. 11It came about, when he 3was approaching Egypt, that he said to his wife Sarai, “See now, I know that you are a 45beautiful woman; 126and 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 7my sister so that it may go well for me because of you, and that 89I may live on account of you.” 14Now it came about, when Abram entered Egypt, that the Egyptians 10saw that the woman was very beautiful. 15Pharaoh’s officials saw her and praised her to Pharaoh; and 11the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house. 16Therefore 12he treated Abram well for her sake; and 1314he gave him sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male servants and female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
