Genesis 12:14-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ And when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw the woman that she was very beautiful.

¹⁵ And the princes told Pharao, and praised her before him: and the woman was taken into the house of Pharao.

¹⁶ And they used Abram well for her sake. And he had sheep and oxen, and he asses, and menservants and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.

¹⁷ But the Lord scourged Pharao and his house with most grievous stripes for Sarai, Abram's wife.

¹⁸ And Pharao called Abram, and said to him: What is this that thou hast done to me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?

¹⁹ For what cause didst thou say, she was thy sister, that I might take her to my wife? Now, therefore, there is thy wife, take her, and go thy way.

²⁰ And Pharao gave his men orders concerning Abram: and they led him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
