Genesis 12:10-16

10At that time a severe famine struck the land of Canaan, forcing Abram to go down to Egypt, where he lived as a foreigner.

11As he was approaching the border of Egypt, Abram said to his wife, Sarai, “Look, you are a very beautiful woman.

12When the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife. Let’s kill him; then we can have her!’

13So please tell them you are my sister. Then they will spare my life and treat me well because of their interest in you.”

14And sure enough, when Abram arrived in Egypt, everyone noticed Sarai’s beauty.

15When the palace officials saw her, they sang her praises to Pharaoh, their king, and Sarai was taken into his palace.

16Then Pharaoh gave Abram many gifts because of her—sheep, goats, cattle, male and female donkeys, male and female servants, and camels.
