Genesis 12:10-16

10And there was a famineH7458 in the landH776: and AbramH87 went downH3381 into EgyptH4714 to dwellH1481 there; for the famineH7458 was grievousH3515 in the landH776. 11And it came to pass, whenH834 he had come nearH7126 to enterH935 into EgyptH4714, that he saidH559 to 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 had 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 treatedH3190 AbramH87 wellH3190 for her sake: and he had sheepH6629, and oxenH1241, and male donkeysH2543, and maleH5650 and female servantsH8198, and female donkeysH860, and camelsH1581.
