Genesis 12:11-16

11Just as he was about to enter Egypt he said to Sarai his wife, “Look, please, I know that you are an attractive woman.

12So when the Egyptians see you they’ll say, ‘This is his wife.’ And they’ll kill me; but you, they’ll let live.

13Please say that you are my sister, so that I’ll be treated well for your sake, and my life will be spared because of you.”

14When Abram came to Egypt, the Egyptians did see that the woman was very beautiful.

15Indeed, Pharaoh’s officials saw her and they raved about her to Pharaoh. Then the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.

16But Abram was treated well for her sake, and he got sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male and female slaves, female donkeys and camels.
