Genesis 12v1Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:Genesis 12v2And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:Genesis 12v3And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.Genesis 12v4So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.Genesis 12v5And Abram took Sarai, his wife, and Lot, his brother's son, and all their goods and the servants which they had got in Haran, and they went out to go to the land of Canaan.Genesis 12v6And Abram went through the land till he came to Shechem, to the holy tree of Moreh. At that time, the Canaanites were still living in the land.Genesis 12v7And the Lord came to Abram, and said, I will give all this land to your seed; then Abram made an altar there to the Lord who had let himself be seen by him.Genesis 12v8And moving on from there to the mountain on the east of Beth-el, he put up his tent, having Beth-el on the west and Ai on the east: and there he made an altar and gave worship to the name of the Lord.Genesis 12v9And he went on, journeying still to the South.Genesis 12v10And because there was little food to be had in that land, he went down into Egypt.Genesis 12v11Now when he came near to Egypt, he said to Sarai, his wife, Truly, you are a fair woman and beautiful to the eye;Genesis 12v12And I am certain that when the men of Egypt see you, they will say, This is his wife: and they will put me to death and keep you.Genesis 12v13Say, then, that you are my sister, and so it will be well with me because of you, and my life will be kept safe on your account.Genesis 12v14And so it was that when Abram came into Egypt, the men of Egypt, looking on the woman, saw that she was fair.Genesis 12v15And Pharaoh's great men, having seen her, said words in praise of her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into Pharaoh's house.Genesis 12v16And because of her, he was good to Abram, and he had sheep and oxen and asses, and men-servants and women-servants, and camels.Genesis 12v17And the Lord sent great troubles on Pharaoh's house because of Sarai, Abram's wife.Genesis 12v18Then Pharaoh sent for Abram, and said, What have you done to me? why did you not say that she was your wife?Genesis 12v19Why did you say that she was your sister? so that I took her for my wife: now, take your wife and go on your way.Genesis 12v20And Pharaoh gave orders to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and all he had.
