Genesis 12:10-13

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.
