01:012:009 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
01:012:010 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into
Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the
land.
01:012:011 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into
Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know
that thou art a fair woman to look upon:
01:012:012 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see
thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will
kill me, but they will save thee alive.
01:012:013 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with
me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
01:012:014 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the
Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
01:012:015 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before
Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
01:012:016 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.
01:012:017 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
01:012:018 And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that thou hast
done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy
wife?
