And they departed, that they myght come in to the londe of Chanaan, ⁶ and in to the londe of Chanaan they came. Abram passed thorowe the londe vnto the place of Sichem, & vnto the playne of Moreh: And the Cananite was then in the londe. ⁷ And the Lorde apearynge vnto Abram: sayd: Unto thy sede wyll I geue this londe. And there buylded he an altare vnto the lorde, euen where he had appeared vnto hym. ⁸ And remouynge thence vnto a mountayne that was eastwarde from bethel, he pitched his tent, hauynge Bethel on the west syde, & Hai on the east. And he buyldynge an altare vnto the Lorde, dyd call on the name of the Lorde. ⁹ And Abram wente furth goinge and departynge towarde the south. ¹⁰ But there was a derth in that londe, and therfore wente Abram downe in to Egypte, that he myght soiourne there, for there was a sore derth in the londe. ¹¹ And it happened whan he was come nere to entre in to Egypte, he sayde vnto Sarai hys wyfe: Beholde, I knowe, that thou art a fayre woman to loke vpon. ¹² Therfore shall it come to passe that whan the Egypcyans se the, they shall saye: She is hys wyfe. And they shall kyll me, but they shall saue the alyue. ¹³ Saye (I praye the) that thou art my syster, that I maye fare well for thy sake, and that my soule maye lyue thorowe thy occasyon. ¹⁴ And so it happened, whan Abram was come in to Egypte, the Egyptians behelde the woman, for she was very fayre. ¹⁵ The prynces also of Pharao sawe her, and commended her before Pharao, and the woman was taken into Pharaos house. ¹⁶ And he truly intreated Abram well for her sake, and he had shepe & oxen and he asses, men seruauntes and mayde seruauntes, she asses & camels. ¹⁷ And the Lorde smote Pharao and hys house with greate plages because of Sarai Abrams wyfe. ¹⁸ And Pharao callinge Abram, sayde Why hast thou done thys vnto me?
