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.
