1 Now the LORD * h3068 had said * h559 h8799 unto Abram * h87, Get thee out * h3212 h8798 of thy country * h776, and from thy kindred * h4138, and from thy father's * h1 house * h1004, unto a land * h776 that I will shew * h7200 h8686 thee:
2 And I will make of thee * h6213 h8799 a great * h1419 nation * h1471, and I will bless * h1288 h8762 thee, and make * h1431 thy name * h8034 great * h1431 h8762; and thou shalt be a blessing * h1293:
3 And I will bless * h1288 h8762 them that bless * h1288 h8764 thee, and curse * h779 h8799 him that curseth * h7043 h8764 thee: and in thee shall all families * h4940 of the earth * h127 be blessed * h1288 h8738.
4 So Abram * h87 departed * h3212 h8799, as the LORD * h3068 had spoken * h1696 h8765 unto him; and Lot * h3876 went * h3212 h8799 with him: and Abram * h87 was seventy * h7657 * h8141 and five * h2568 years * h8141 old * h1121 when he departed * h3318 h8800 out of Haran * h2771.
5 And Abram * h87 took * h3947 h8799 Sarai * h8297 his wife * h802, and Lot * h3876 his brother's * h251 son * h1121, and all their substance * h7399 that they had gathered * h7408 h8804, and the souls * h5315 that they had gotten * h6213 h8804 in Haran * h2771; and they went forth * h3318 h8799 to go * h3212 h8800 into the land * h776 of Canaan * h3667; and into the land * h776 of Canaan * h3667 they came * h935 h8799.
6 And Abram * h87 passed through * h5674 h8799 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. plain: Heb. plains
7 And the LORD * h3068 appeared * h7200 h8735 unto Abram * h87, and said * h559 h8799, Unto thy seed * h2233 will I give * h5414 h8799 this * h2063 land * h776: and there builded * h1129 h8799 he an altar * h4196 unto the LORD * h3068, who appeared * h7200 h8737 unto him.
8 And he removed * h6275 h8686 from thence unto a mountain * h2022 on the east * h6924 of Bethel * h1008, and pitched * h5186 h8799 his tent * h168, having Bethel * h1008 on the west * h3220, and Hai * h5857 on the east * h6924: and there he builded * h1129 h8799 an altar * h4196 unto the LORD * h3068, and called * h7121 h8799 upon the name * h8034 of the LORD * h3068.
9 And Abram * h87 journeyed * h5265 h8799, going on * h1980 h8800 still * h5265 h8800 toward the south * h5045. going...: Heb. in going and journeying
10 And there was a famine * h7458 in the land * h776: and Abram * h87 went down * h3381 h8799 into Egypt * h4714 to sojourn * h1481 h8800 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 h8689 to enter * h935 h8800 into Egypt * h4714, that he said * h559 h8799 unto Sarai * h8297 his wife * h802, Behold * h2009 now * h4994, I know * h3045 h8804 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 h8799 thee, that they shall say * h559 h8804, This is his wife * h802: and they will kill * h2026 h8804 me, but they will save thee alive * h2421 h8762.
13 Say * h559 h8798, I pray thee * h4994, thou art my sister * h269: that * h4616 it may be well * h3190 h8799 with me for thy sake; and my soul * h5315 shall live * h2421 h8804 because of thee * h1558.
14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram * h87 was come * h935 h8800 into Egypt * h4714, the Egyptians * h4713 beheld * h7200 h8799 the woman * h802 that she was very * h3966 fair * h3303.
15 The princes * h8269 also of Pharaoh * h6547 saw * h7200 h8799 her, and commended * h1984 h8762 her before * h413 Pharaoh * h6547: and the woman * h802 was taken * h3947 h8714 into Pharaoh's * h6547 house * h1004.
16 And he entreated * h3190 Abram * h87 well * h3190 h8689 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 h8762 Pharaoh * h6547 and his house * h1004 with great * h1419 plagues * h5061 because of * h1697 Sarai * h8297 Abram's * h87 wife * h802.
18 And Pharaoh * h6547 called * h7121 h8799 Abram * h87, and said * h559 h8799, What is this that thou hast done * h6213 h8804 unto me? why didst thou not tell * h5046 h8689 me that she was thy wife * h802?
19 Why saidst thou * h559 h8804, She is my sister * h269? so I might have taken * h3947 h8799 her to me to wife * h802: now therefore behold thy wife * h802, take * h3947 h8798 her , and go thy way * h3212 h8798.
20 And Pharaoh * h6547 commanded * h6680 h8762 his men * h582 concerning him: and they sent him away * h7971 h8762, and his wife * h802, and all that he had.
