Genesis 12:15-20

Living Bible

¹⁵ When the palace aides saw her, they praised her to their king, the Pharaoh, and she was taken into his harem.^{[a] 16} Then Pharaoh gave Abram many gifts because of her—sheep, oxen, donkeys, men and women slaves, and camels.

¹⁷ But the Lord sent a terrible plague upon Pharaoh’s household on account of her being there. ¹⁸ Then Pharaoh called Abram before him and accused him sharply. “What is this you have done to me?” he demanded. “Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife? ¹⁹ Why were you willing to let me marry her, saying she was your sister? Here, take her and be gone!” ²⁰ And Pharaoh sent them out of the country under armed escort—Abram, his wife, and all his household and possessions.
