Genesis 12:15-19 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

15. When Pharaoh's officials saw her, they bragged to Pharaoh about her. Sarai was taken into his palace.

16. Pharaoh treated Abram well because of her. So Abram gained more sheep and cattle. He also got more male and female donkeys. And he gained more male and female servants and some camels.

17. But the Lord sent terrible sicknesses on Pharaoh and everyone in his palace. He did it because of Abram's wife Sarai.

18. So Pharaoh sent for Abram. "What have you done to me?" he said. "Why didn't you tell me she was your wife?

19. Why did you say, 'She's my sister'? That's why I took her to be my wife. Now then, here's your wife. Take her and go!"
