| 1. | And Jehovah had said to Abram, Go out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and from thy father`s house, to the land that I will shew thee. |
| 2. | And I will make of thee a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing. |
| 3. | And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. |
| 4. | And Abram departed as Jehovah had said to him. And Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran. |
| 5. | And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother`s son, and all their possessions that they had acquired, and the souls that they had obtained in Haran, and they went out to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came. |
| 6. | And Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. |
| 7. | And Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land. And there he built an altar to Jehovah who had appeared to him. |
| 8. | And he removed thence towards the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel toward the west, and Ai toward the east; and there he built an altar to Jehovah, and called on the name of Jehovah. |
| 9. | And Abram moved onward, going on still toward the south. |
| 10. | And there was a famine in the land. And Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was grievous in the land. |
| 11. | And it came to pass when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a woman fair to look upon. |
| 12. | And it will come to pass when the Egyptians see thee, that they will say, She is his wife; and they will slay me, and save thee alive. |
| 13. | Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister, that it may be well with me on thy account, and my soul may live because of thee. |
| 14. | And it came to pass when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. |
| 15. | And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh`s house. |
| 16. | And he treated Abram well on her account; and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and bondmen, and bondwomen, and she-asses, and camels. |
| 17. | And Jehovah plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram`s wife. |
| 18. | And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this thou hast done to me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife? |
| 19. | Why didst thou say, She is my sister, so that I took her as my wife. And now, behold, there is thy wife: take her, and go away. |
| 20. | And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him, and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had. |
