And the Canaanite was then in the land. ###### 7 7 And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him. ###### 8 8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el 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. ###### 9 9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south. ###### 10 10 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. ###### 11 11 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: ###### 12 12 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. ###### 13 13 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. ###### 14 14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. ###### 15 15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house. ###### 16 16 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. ###### 17 17 And the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife. ###### 18 18 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? ###### 19 19 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. ###### 20 20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
