Now the LORDH3068 had saidH559 to Abram,H87 GetH3212 you out of your country,H776 and from your kindred,H4138 and from your father'sH1 house,H1004 to a landH776 that I will showH7200 you:
2
And I will makeH6213 of you a greatH1419 nation,H1471 and I will blessH1288 you, and make your nameH8034 great;H1431 and you shall be a blessing:H1293
3
And I will blessH1288 them that blessH1288 you, and curseH779 him that cursesH7043 you: and in you shall allH3605 familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessed.H1288
4
So AbramH87 departed,H3212 as the LORDH3068 had spokenH1696 to him; and LotH3876 wentH3212 with him: and AbramH87 was seventyH7657 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he departedH3318 out of Haran.H2771
5
And AbramH87 tookH3947 SaraiH8297 his wife,H802 and LotH3876 his brother'sH251 son,H1121 and allH3605 their substanceH7399 that they had gathered,H7408 and the soulsH5315 that they had gottenH6213 in Haran;H2771 and they wentH3318 forthH3318 to goH3212 into the landH776 of Canaan;H3667 and into the landH776 of CanaanH3667 they came.H935
6
And AbramH87 passedH5674 through the landH776 to the placeH4725 of Sichem,H7927 to the plainH436 of Moreh.H4176 And the CanaaniteH3669 was thenH227 in the land.H776
7
And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to Abram,H87 and said,H559 To your seedH2233 will I giveH5414 thisH2063 land:H776 and thereH8033 builtH1129 he an altarH4196 to the LORD,H3068 who appearedH7200 to him.
8
And he removedH6275 from thereH8033 to a mountainH2022 on the eastH6924 of Bethel,H1008 and pitchedH5186 his tent,H168 having BethelH1008 on the west,H3220 and HaiH5857 on the east:H6924 and thereH8033 he builtH1129 an altarH4196 to the LORD,H3068 and calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORD.H3068
9
And AbramH87 journeyed,H5265 goingH1980 on stillH5265 toward the south.H5045
10
And there was a famineH7458 in the land:H776 and AbramH87 wentH3381 downH3381 into EgyptH4714 to sojournH1481 there;H8033 for the famineH7458 was grievousH3515 in the land.H776
11
And it cameH1961 to pass, whenH834 he was comeH7126 nearH7126 to enterH935 intoH935 Egypt,H4714 that he saidH559 to SaraiH8297 his wife,H802 BeholdH2009 now,H4994 I knowH3045 that you are a fairH3303 womanH802 to lookH4758 on:
12
Therefore it shall come to pass, whenH3588 the EgyptiansH4713 shall seeH7200 you, that they shall say,H559 ThisH2063 is his wife:H802 and they will killH2026 me, but they will saveH2421 you alive.H2421
13
Say,H559 I prayH4994 you, you are my sister:H269 that it may be wellH3190 with me for your sake;H5668 and my soulH5315 shall liveH2421 becauseH1558 of you.
14
And it cameH1961 to pass, that, when AbramH87 was comeH935 into Egypt,H4714 the EgyptiansH4713 beheldH7200 the womanH802 that she was veryH3966 fair.H3303
15
The princesH8269 also of PharaohH6547 sawH7200 her, and commendedH1984 her beforeH413 Pharaoh:H6547 and the womanH802 was takenH3947 into Pharaoh'sH6547 house.H1004
16
And he entreated AbramH87 wellH3190 for her sake:H5668 and he hadH1961 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 LORDH3068 plaguedH5060 PharaohH6547 and his houseH1004 with greatH1419 plaguesH5061 becauseH5921 H1697 of SaraiH8297 Abram'sH87 wife.H802
18
And PharaohH6547 calledH7121 Abram H87and said,H559 WhatH4100 is thisH2063 that you have doneH6213 to me? whyH4100 did you not tellH5046 me that she was your wife?H802
19
WhyH4100 saidH559 you, She is my sister?H269 so I might have takenH3947 her to me to wife:H802 nowH6258 therefore beholdH2009 your wife,H802 takeH3947 her, and goH3212 your way.
20
And PharaohH6547 commandedH6680 his menH582 concerningH5921 him: and they sentH7971 him away, and his wife,H802 and allH3605 that he had.
