Genesis 12:12-20

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.

17But Adonai struck Pharaoh and his household with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.

18So Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What’s this that you did to me? Why didn’t you tell me that she is your wife?

19Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Now, here is your wife. Take—and go!”

20Then Pharaoh instructed men concerning him, and they expelled him, with his wife, and everything that belonged to him.
