Genesis 12:11-19

11And it came to pass, whenH834 he was come nearH7126 to enterH935 into EgyptH4714, that he saidH559 unto SaraiH8297 his wifeH802, BeholdH2009 nowH4994, I knowH3045 that thou art a fairH3303 womanH802 to look uponH4758: 12Therefore it shall come to pass, when the EgyptiansH4713 shall seeH7200 thee, that they shall sayH559, This is his wifeH802: and they will killH2026 me, but they will save thee aliveH2421. 13SayH559, I pray theeH4994, thou art my sisterH269: thatH4616 it may be wellH3190 with me for thy sake; and my soulH5315 shall liveH2421 because of theeH1558.

14And it came to pass, that, when AbramH87 was comeH935 into EgyptH4714, the EgyptiansH4713 beheldH7200 the womanH802 that she was veryH3966 fairH3303. 15The princesH8269 also of PharaohH6547 sawH7200 her, and commendedH1984 her beforeH413 PharaohH6547: and the womanH802 was takenH3947 into Pharaoh’sH6547 houseH1004. 16And he entreatedH3190 AbramH87 wellH3190 for her sake: and he had sheepH6629, and oxenH1241, and he donkeysH2543, and menservantsH5650, and maidservantsH8198, and she donkeysH860, and camelsH1581. 17And YhwhH3068 plaguedH5060 PharaohH6547 and his houseH1004 with greatH1419 plaguesH5061 because ofH1697 SaraiH8297 Abram’sH87 wifeH802. 18And PharaohH6547 calledH7121 AbramH87, and saidH559, What is this that thou hast doneH6213 unto me? why didst thou not tellH5046 me that she was thy wifeH802? 19Why saidst thouH559, She is my sisterH269? so I might have takenH3947 her to me to wifeH802: now therefore behold thy wifeH802, takeH3947 her, and go thy wayH3212.
