Abram and Sarai in Egypt

¹⁰ Now there was ^(A)a famine in the land; so Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was ^(B)severe in the land. ¹¹ And it happened as he drew near to entering Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, “Now behold, I know that you are a woman ^(C)beautiful in appearance; ^12 (D)and it will be when the Egyptians see you, that they will say, ‘This is his wife’; and they will kill me, but they will let you live. ¹³ Please say that you are ^(E)my sister so that it may go well with me because of you, and that ^[a](F)I may live on account of you.” ¹⁴ Now it happened when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians ^[b]saw that the woman was very beautiful. ¹⁵ And Pharaoh’s officials saw her and praised her to Pharaoh; and ^(G)the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house. ¹⁶ Therefore ^(H)he treated Abram well because of her; and sheep and oxen and donkeys and male and female servants and female donkeys and camels ^[c](I)came into his possession.

¹⁷ But Yahweh ^(J)struck Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife. ¹⁸ Then Pharaoh called Abram and said, “^(K)What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife? ¹⁹ Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her for myself as a wife? So now, ^[d]here is your wife, take her and go.” ²⁰ So Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him; and they ^[e]sent him away with his wife and all that belonged to him.
