01:012:008 And he removed from thence unto a mountain
on the east of
Bethel,
and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and
Hai
on the east: and there he builded an altar unto
the lord,
and
called upon the name of the lord.
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?
01:012:019 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I
might have taken her
to
me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take
her, and go
thy
way.
01:012:020 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning
him: and they sent
him
away, and his wife, and all that he had.
01:013:001 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and
his wife, and all that
he
had, and Lot with him, into the south.
01:013:002 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
01:013:003 And he went on his journeys from the south
even to Bethel,
unto
the place where his tent had been at the beginning,
between
Bethel and Hai;
01:013:004 Unto the place of the altar, which he had
make there at the
first:
and there Abram called on the name of the lord.
01:013:005 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had
flocks, and herds,
and
tents.
01:013:006 And the land was not able to bear them,
that they might dwell
together:
for their substance was great, so that they could
not
dwell together.
