Genesis 12:10-16
10There was a famine in the land, so Abram went down to Egypt to stay for a while because the famine was severe.
11As he approached Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “Look, I know that you are a beautiful woman.
12When the Egyptians see you they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me but will keep you alive.
13So tell them you are my sister so that it may go well for me because of you and my life will be spared on account of you.”
14When Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
15When Pharaoh’s officials saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh. So Abram’s wife was taken into the household of Pharaoh,
16and he did treat Abram well on account of her. Abram received sheep and cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
