chapter 12
1
And
the Lord said to Abram: Go forth out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and
out of they father's house, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will
bless thee, and magnify thy name, and thou shalt be blessed.
3 I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them
that curse thee, and IN THEE shall all the kindred of the earth be blessed:
4 So Abram went out as the Lord had commanded him, and
Lot went with him: Abram was seventy-five years old when he went forth from
Haran.
5 And he took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's
son, and all the substance which they had gathered, and the souls which they
had gotten in Haran: and they went out to go into the land of Chanaan. And when
they were come into it,
6 Abram passed through the country into the place of
Sichem, as far as the noble vale: now the Chanaanite was at that time in the
land.
7 And the Lord appeared to Abram, and said to him: To
thy seed will I give this land. And he built there an altar to the Lord, who
had appeared to him.
8 And passing on from thence to a mountain, that was on
the east side of Bethel, he there pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west,
and Hai on the east; he built there also an altar to the Lord, and called upon
his name.
9 And Abram went forward, going, and proceeding on to
the south.
10 And there came a famine in the country; and Abram
went down into Egypt, to sojourn there: for the famine was very grievous in the
land.
11 And when he was near to enter into Egypt, he said to
Sarai his wife: I know that thou art a beautiful woman:
12 And that when the Egyptians shall see thee, they
will say: She is his wife: and they will kill me, and keep thee.
13 Say, therefore, I pray thee, that thou art my
sister: that I may be well used for thee, and that my soul may live for thy
sake.
14 And when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians
saw the woman that she was very beautiful.
15 And the princes told Pharao, and praised her before
him: and the woman was taken into the house of Pharao.
16 And they used Abram well for her sake. And he had
sheep and oxen, and he asses, and menservants and maidservants, and she asses,
and camels.
17 But the Lord scourged Pharao and his house with most
grievous stripes for Sarai, Abram's wife.
18 And Pharao called Abram, and said to him: What is
this that thou hast done to me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy
wife.
19 For what cause didst thou say, she was thy sister,
that I might take her to my wife? Now therefore, there is thy wife, take her,
and go thy way.
20 And Pharao gave his men orders concerning Abram: and
they led him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
