Genesis 12

1Now the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto AbramH87, Get thee outH413 of thy countryH776, and from thy kindredH4138, and from thy father’sH1 houseH1004, unto the landH776 that I will shew thee: 2and I will makeH6213 of thee a greatH1419 nationH1471, and I will blessH1288 thee, and makeH6213 thy nameH8034 greatH1419; and be thou a blessingH1293: 3and I will blessH1288 them that blessH1288 thee, and him that curseth thee will I curseH7043: and in thee shall allH3605 the familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288. 4SoH3318 AbramH87 wentH3318, as the LORDH3068 had spokenH1696 unto him; and LotH3876 wentH3318 with him: and AbramH87 was seventyH7657 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he departedH3318 outH3318 of HaranH2771. 5And AbramH87 tookH3947 SaraiH8297 his wifeH802, and LotH3876 his brother’sH251 sonH1121, and allH3605 their substance that they had gatheredH7408, and the soulsH5315 that they had gotten in HaranH2771; and they wentH3318 forthH3318 to goH3318 intoH935 the landH776 of CanaanH3667; and intoH935 the landH776 of CanaanH3667 they cameH935. 6And AbramH87 passedH5674 throughH5674 the landH776 unto the placeH4725 of ShechemH7927, unto the oakH436 of MorehH4176. And the CanaaniteH3669 was then in the landH776. 7And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto AbramH87, and saidH559, Unto thy seedH2233 will I giveH5414 this landH776: and there builded he an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, who appearedH7200 unto him. 8And he removed from thence unto the mountainH2022 on the eastH6924 of Beth-el, and pitchedH5186 his tentH168, having Beth-el on the westH3220, and AiH5857 on the eastH6924: and there he builded an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, and calledH7121 uponH7121 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068. 9And AbramH87 journeyedH5265, goingH1980 on still towardH1980 the SouthH5045. 10And there was a famineH7458 in the landH776: and AbramH87 wentH3381 downH3381 intoH776 EgyptH4714 to sojourn there; for the famineH7458 was sore in the landH776. 11And it cameH935 to passH935, when he was comeH935 nearH7126 to enterH935 intoH413 EgyptH4714, that he saidH559 unto SaraiH8297 his wifeH802, BeholdH2009 nowH4994, I knowH3045 that thou art a fairH3303 womanH802 to lookH2009 uponH935: 12and it shall comeH1961 to passH1961, when the EgyptiansH4713 shall seeH7200 thee, that they shall sayH559, This is his wifeH802: and they will killH2026 meH7200, but they will save thee aliveH2421. 13SayH559, I prayH4994 thee, thou art my sisterH269: that it may be wellH3190 with meH4994 for thy sakeH4616, and that my soulH5315 may liveH2421 becauseH4616 of thee. 14And it cameH935 to passH935, that, when AbramH87 was comeH935 intoH935 EgyptH4714, the EgyptiansH4714 beheld the womanH802 that sheH1931 was veryH3966 fairH3303. 15And the princesH8269 of PharaohH6547 sawH7200 herH413, and praisedH1984 herH413 to PharaohH6547: and the womanH802 was takenH3947 intoH413 Pharaoh’sH6547 houseH1004. 16And he entreated AbramH87 wellH3190 for herH1961 sakeH5668: and he had sheepH6629, and oxenH1241, and he-asses, and menservants, and maidservantsH8198, and she-asses, and camelsH1581. 17And the LORDH3068 plaguedH5060 PharaohH6547 and his houseH1004 with greatH1419 plaguesH5061 becauseH5921 of SaraiH8297 Abram’sH87 wifeH802. 18And PharaohH6547 calledH7121 AbramH87, and saidH559, WhatH4100 is this that thou hast doneH6213 unto meH5046? whyH4100 didst thou notH3808 tellH5046 meH5046 that sheH1931 was thy wifeH802? 19WhyH4100 saidst thou, SheH1931 is my sisterH269? soH3947 that I tookH3947 herH3947 to be my wifeH802: nowH6258 therefore beholdH2009 thy wifeH802, takeH3947 herH3947, and goH2009 thy way. 20And PharaohH6547 gaveH6680 menH376 chargeH5921 concerning him: and they brought him on the wayH3605, and his wifeH802, and allH3605 that he had.
