1

Now  athe LORDh3068 saidh559 to Abramh87, " 1Goh1980 forth from your countryh776, And from your relativesh4138 And from your father'sh1 househ1004, To the landh776 whichh834 I will showh7200 you;

2

And  aI will makeh6213a you a greath1419 nationh1471, And  bI will blessh1288 you, And makeh1431 your nameh8034 greath1431; And so  1 cyou shall be a blessingh1293;

3

And  aI will blessh1288 those who blessh1288 you, And the one who  1cursesh7043 you I will  2curseh779.  bAnd in you allh3605 the familiesh4940 of the earthh127 will be blessedh1288."

4

So Abramh87 wenth1980 forth as the LORDh3068 had spokenh1696 to him; and  aLoth3876 wenth1980 with him. Now Abramh87 was seventy-fiveh7657 yearsh8141 oldh1121 when he departedh3318 from Haranh2771a.

5

Abramh87 tookh3947 Saraih8297 his wifeh802 and Loth3876 his nephewh1121h251, and allh3605 their  apossessionsh7399 whichh834 they had accumulatedh7408, and  bthe  1personsh5315 whichh834 they had acquiredh6213a in Haranh2771a, and they  2seth3318h1980 out for the landh776 of Canaanh3667a;  cthus they cameh935 to the landh776 of Canaanh3667a.

6

Abramh87 passedh5674a throughh5674a the landh776 as farh5704 as the siteh4725 of  aShechemh7927, to the  1oakh436 of Morehh4176. Now the Canaaniteh3669a was thenh227 in the landh776.

7

The LORDh3068  aappearedh7200 to Abramh87 and saidh559, " bTo your  1descendantsh2233 I will giveh5414 thish2088 landh776." So he builth1129  can altarh4196 thereh8033 to the LORDh3068 who had appearedh7200 to him.

8

Then he proceededh6275 from thereh8033 to the mountainh2022 on the easth6924a of Bethelh1008, and pitchedh5186 his tenth168, with  aBethelh1008 on the westh3220 and Aih5857 on the easth6924a; and thereh8033 he builth1129 an altarh4196 to the LORDh3068 and  bcalledh7121 upon the nameh8034 of the LORDh3068.

9

Abramh87 journeyedh5265 on, continuingh1980h5265 toward  athe  1Negevh5045.

10

Now there was  aa famineh7458 in the landh776; so Abramh87 wenth3381 downh3381 to Egypth4714 to sojournh1481a thereh8033, for the famineh7458 was  bsevereh3515 in the landh776.

11

It cameh1961 about whenh3512c he  1cameh7126h935 nearh7126 to Egypth4714, that he saidh559 to Saraih8297 his wifeh802, "Seeh2009 nowh4994, I knowh3045 that you are a  2 abeautifulh3303 womanh802;

12

 aand whenh3588 the Egyptiansh4713 seeh7200 you, they will sayh559, `Thish2088 is his wifeh802'; and they will killh2026 me, but they will let you liveh2421a.

13

"Pleaseh4994 sayh559 that you are  amy sisterh269 soh4616 that it may goh3190 wellh3190 with me becauseh5668 of you, and that  1 bI may liveh2421a on accounth1558 of you."

14

It cameh1961 about when Abramh87 cameh935 into Egypth4714, the Egyptiansh4713  1sawh7200 that the womanh802 was veryh3966 beautifulh3303.

15

Pharaoh'sh6547 officialsh8269 sawh7200 her and praisedh1984b her to Pharaohh6547; and  athe womanh802 was takenh3947 into Pharaoh'sh6547 househ1004.

16

Therefore  ahe treatedh3190 Abramh87 wellh3190 for her sakeh5668; and  1 bgaveh1961 him sheeph6629 and oxenh1241 and donkeysh2543 and maleh5650 and femaleh8198 servantsh8198 and femaleh860 donkeysh860 and camelsh1581.

17

But the LORDh3068  astruckh5060 Pharaohh6547 and his househ1004 with greath1419 plaguesh5061 becauseh5921h1697 of Saraih8297, Abram'sh87 wifeh802.

18

Then Pharaohh6547 calledh7121 Abramh87 and saidh559, " aWhath4100 is thish2088 you have doneh6213a to me? Whyh4100 did you not tellh5046 me that she was your wifeh802?

19

"Whyh4100 did you sayh559, `She is my sisterh269,' so that I tookh3947 her for my wifeh802? Nowh6258 then,  1hereh2009 is your wifeh802, takeh3947 her and goh1980."

20

Pharaohh6547 commandedh6680 his menh376 concerningh5921 him; and they  1escortedh7971 him awayh7971, with his wifeh802 and allh3605 that belonged to him.
