Genesis 12:14-20 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

14. As soon as Abram and Sarai arrived in Egypt, the Egyptians noticed how beautiful she was.

15. The king's officials told him about her, and she was taken to his house.

16. The king was good to Abram because of Sarai, and Abram was given sheep, cattle, donkeys, slaves, and camels.

17. Because of Sarai, the Lord struck the king and everyone in his palace with terrible diseases.

18. Finally, the king sent for Abram and said to him, “What have you done to me? Why didn't you tell me Sarai was your wife?

19. Why did you make me believe she was your sister? Now I've married her. Take her and go! She's your wife.”

20. So the king told his men to let Abram and Sarai take their possessions and leave.
