1
Now the LORD[H3068] had said[H559] unto Abram[H87], Get thee out[H3212] of thy country[H776], and from thy kindred[H4138], and from thy father's house[H1004], unto a land[H776] that I will shew[H7200] thee:
2
And I will make[H1431] of thee[H6213] a great[H1419]nation[H1471], and I will bless[H1288]thee[H6213], and make[H1431] thy name[H8034]great[H1431]; and thou shalt be a blessing[H1293]:
3
And I will bless[H1288] them that bless[H1288] thee, and curse[H779] him that curseth[H7043] thee: and in thee shall all families[H4940] of the earth[H127] be blessed[H1288].
4
So Abram[H87]departed[H3212], as the LORD[H3068] had spoken[H1696] unto him; and Lot[H3876]went[H3212] with him: and Abram[H87] was seventy[H7657] and five[H2568]years[H8141]old[H1121] when he departed[H3318] out of Haran[H2771].
5
And Abram[H87]took[H3947]Sarai[H8297] his wife[H802], and Lot[H3876] his brother's son[H1121], and all their substance[H7399] that they had gathered[H7408], and the souls[H5315] that they had gotten[H6213] in Haran[H2771]; and they went forth[H3318] to go[H3212] into the land[H776] of Canaan[H3667]; and into the land[H776] of Canaan[H3667] they came[H935].
6
And Abram[H87] passed through[H5674] the land[H776] unto the place[H4725] of Sichem[H7927], unto the plain[H436] of Moreh[H4176]. And the Canaanite[H3669] was then[H227] in the land[H776].
7
And the LORD[H3068]appeared[H7200] unto Abram[H87], and said[H559], Unto thy seed[H2233] will I give[H5414]this[H2063]land[H776]: and there builded[H1129] he an altar[H4196] unto the LORD[H3068], who appeared[H7200] unto him.
8
And he removed[H6275] from thence unto a mountain[H2022] on the east[H6924] of Bethel[H1008], and pitched[H5186] his tent[H168], having Bethel[H1008] on the west[H3220], and Hai[H5857] on the east[H6924]: and there he builded[H1129] an altar[H4196] unto the LORD[H3068], and called[H7121] upon the name[H8034] of the LORD[H3068].
9
And Abram[H87]journeyed[H5265], going on[H1980]still[H5265] toward the south[H5045].
10
And there was a famine[H7458] in the land[H776]: and Abram[H87] went down[H3381] into Egypt[H4714] to sojourn[H1481] there; for the famine[H7458] was grievous[H3515] in the land[H776].
11
And it came to pass, when[H834] he was come near[H7126] to enter[H935] into Egypt[H4714], that he said[H559] unto Sarai[H8297] his wife[H802], Behold[H2009]now[H4994], I know[H3045] that thou art a fair[H3303]woman[H802] to look upon[H4758]:
12
Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians[H4713] shall see[H7200] thee, that they shall say[H559], This is his wife[H802]: and they will kill[H2026] me, but they will save thee alive[H2421].
13Say[H559], I pray thee[H4994], thou art my sister[H269]: that[H4616] it may be well[H3190] with me for thy sake; and my soul[H5315] shall live[H2421] because of thee[H1558].
14
And it came to pass, that, when Abram[H87] was come[H935] into Egypt[H4714], the Egyptians[H4713]beheld[H7200] the woman[H802] that she was very[H3966]fair[H3303].
15
The princes[H8269] also of Pharaoh[H6547]saw[H7200] her, and commended[H1984] her before[H413]Pharaoh[H6547]: and the woman[H802] was taken[H3947] into Pharaoh[H6547]'s house[H1004].
16
And he entreated[H3190]Abram[H87]well[H3190] for her sake: and he had sheep[H6629], and oxen[H1241], and he asses[H2543], and menservants[H5650], and maidservants[H8198], and she asses[H860], and camels[H1581].
17
And the LORD[H3068]plagued[H5060]Pharaoh[H6547] and his house[H1004] with great[H1419]plagues[H5061] because of[H1697]Sarai[H8297] Abram's wife[H802].
18
And Pharaoh[H6547]called[H7121]Abram[H87], and said[H559], What is this that thou hast done[H6213] unto me? why didst thou not tell[H5046] me that she was thy wife?[H802]
19
Why saidst thou[H559], She is my sister?[H269] so I might have taken[H3947] her to me to wife[H802]: now therefore behold thy wife[H802], take[H3947] her, and go thy way[H3212].
20
And Pharaoh[H6547]commanded[H6680] his men[H582] concerning him: and they sent him away[H7971], and his wife[H802], and all that he had.
