1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: | <>the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out … from thy father's house, <>Get thee out of thy country, <>house |
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: | <>I will … make thy name great, <>I will bless thee … and thou shalt be a blessing |
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. | <>I will … curse him that curseth thee, <>them … him, <>in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed, <>families |
4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. | <>as the LORD had spoken unto him, <>the LORD had spoken |
5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came. | <>his wife, <>wife, <>son, <>substance |
6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. | |
7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him. | <>the LORD appeared unto Abram, <>the LORD appeared |
8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD. | <>Beth-el … Beth-el, <>tent, <>called upon the name of the LORD |
9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south. | |
10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land. | <>there was a famine in the land … famine |
11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon: | <>a fair woman to look upon, <>woman |
12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive. | |
13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee. | <>Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me, <>soul … live … because of thee |
14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. | <>vv. 14-16 |
15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house. | <>vv. 14-16 |
16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels. | <>vv. 14-16 |
17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife. | <>v. 17 |
18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife? | |
19 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way. | <>to wife |
20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had. | |
