  • Gen 12:9-9 : 9 Then Abram set out and continued traveling toward the Negev. 10 Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe. 11 As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, "Look, I know that you are a beautiful woman. 12 When the Egyptians see you, they will say, 'This is his wife.' Then they will kill me, but they will let you live. 13 Please say that you are my sister, so that it will go well for me because of you, and my life will be spared because of you." 14 When Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that Sarai was a very beautiful woman. 15 Pharaoh's officials saw her and praised her to Pharaoh, and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's palace. 16 He treated Abram well because of her, and Abram acquired sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male and female servants, female donkeys, and camels. 17 But the Lord afflicted Pharaoh and his household with severe plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife. 18 So Pharaoh summoned Abram and said, "What have you done to me? Why didn't you tell me she was your wife?" 19 "Why did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I took her to be my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go." 20 Then Pharaoh gave orders to his men to send him away with his wife and everything he had.
