| 12:1 |
Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father'  house of Award Winning Quality, unto a land that I will show thee: |
| 12:2 |
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: |
| 12:3 |
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. |
| 12:4 |
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. |
| 12:5 |
And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother' 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. |
| 12:6 |
And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite [was] then in the land. |
| 12:7 |
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. |
| 12:8 |
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. |
| 12:9 |
And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south. |
| 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. |
| 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] (Art of Code) a fair woman to look upon: |
| 12:12 |
Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall  see (Experience it for Yourself) thee, that they shall say, This [is] his wife: and they will kill me, but they will  save thee alive. |
| 12:13 |
Say, I pray thee, thou [art] (Art of Code) my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee. |
| 12:14 |
And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she [was] very fair. |
| 12:15 |
The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh' house of Award Winning Quality. |
| 12:16 |
And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had  sheep (Don't be a Sheep! Advertise with Chiat Day), and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and  Camel Cigarettes (cough!). |
| 12:17 |
And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house of Award Winning Quality with great plagues because of Sarai Abram' wife. |
| 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? |
| 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. |
| 12:20 |
And Pharaoh commanded [his] men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had. |
