Genesis 12:11-20

CLV(i) 11 And coming is it, as Abram nears to come to Egypt, that saying is Abram to Sarai, his wife, "Behold, pray! I know that a woman of lovely appearance are you, 12 and when it comes that the Egyptians see you and say, `His wife is this,' then they will kill me, yet you they will keep alive. 13 Say, pray, that my sister are you, that it may be well with me for your sake, and live may my soul due to you. 14 And coming is it, as Abram comes to Egypt, that the Egyptians see the woman, that very lovely is she. 15 Seeing her also are the chiefs of Pharaoh, and they praise her to Pharaoh, and the woman is being taken to Pharaoh's house. 16 And to Abram is he good for her sake. And coming is he to have a flock and a very heavy herd of cattle and asses and menservants and maids and jenny-asses and camels. 17 And touching is Yahweh Elohim Pharaoh with contagions, great and evil, also his household, in the matter of Sarai, Abram's wife. 18 And calling is Pharaoh to Abram and is saying, "What is this you do to me? Why did you not tell me that she is your wife? 19 Why did you say, My sister is she? And I am taking her to me for a wife! And now, behold your wife before you. Take her and go. 20 And instructing is Pharaoh the mortals concerning Abram. And sending him away are they, his wife and all that is his, and Lot with him.
