01_GEN_12_01 now the LORD had said unto Abram, get thee out of thy country, And from thy kindred, And from thy father's house, unto A land that I will show thee:
01_GEN_12_02 And I will make of thee A great nation, And I will bless thee, And make thy name great; And thou shalt be A blessing:
01_GEN_12_03 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.
01_GEN_12_04 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; And lot went with him: And Abram [ was] seventy And five years old when he departed out of Haran.
01_GEN_12_05 And Abram took Sarai his wife, And lot his brother's son, And all their substance that they had gathered, And the souls that they had gotten in Haran; And they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; And into the land of Canaan they came.
01_GEN_12_06 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite [ was] Then in the land.
01_GEN_12_07 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.
01_GEN_12_08 And he removed from thence unto A mountain on the east of Bethel, And pitched his tent, [ having] Bethel 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.
01_GEN_12_09 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
01_GEN_12_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.
01_GEN_12_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:
01_GEN_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.
01_GEN_12_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.
01_GEN_12_14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she [ was] very fair.
01_GEN_12_15 the princes also of Pharaoh saw her, And commended her before Pharaoh: And the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
01_GEN_12_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.
01_GEN_12_17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh And his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
01_GEN_12_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?
01_GEN_12_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.
01_GEN_12_20 And Pharaoh commanded [ his] men concerning him: And they sent him away, And his wife, And all that he had.
