13. Please say that you are my sister, so that I’ll be treated well for your sake, and my life will be spared because of you.”
14. When Abram came to Egypt, the Egyptians did see that the woman was very beautiful.
15. Indeed, Pharaoh’s officials saw her and they raved about her to Pharaoh. Then the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
16. But Abram was treated well for her sake, and he got sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male and female slaves, female donkeys and camels.
17. But Adonai struck Pharaoh and his household with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
18. So Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What’s this that you did to me? Why didn’t you tell me that she is your wife?
19. Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Now, here is your wife. Take—and go!”
20. Then Pharaoh instructed men concerning him, and they expelled him, with his wife, and everything that belonged to him.
