Genesis 12:12-20

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.

17But the Lord struck Pharaoh and his household with severe diseases because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.

18So Pharaoh summoned Abram and said, “What is this you have done to me? Why didn’t you tell me that she was your wife?

19Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Here is your wife! Take her and go!”

20Pharaoh gave his men orders about Abram, and so they expelled him, along with his wife and all his possessions.
