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.
