01_GEN_12_01 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 show thee :
01_GEN_12_02 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 :
01_GEN_12_03 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 .
01_GEN_12_04 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 .
01_GEN_12_05 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 .
01_GEN_12_06 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem , unto the plain of Moreh . And the Canaanite [ was ] Then in the land .
01_GEN_12_07 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 .
01_GEN_12_08 And he removed from thence unto A mountain on the east of Bethel , And pitched his tent , [ having ] Bethel 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 .
01_GEN_12_09 And Abram journeyed , going on still toward the south .
01_GEN_12_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 .
01_GEN_12_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 :
01_GEN_12_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 .
01_GEN_12_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 .
01_GEN_12_14 And it came to pass , that , when Abram was come into Egypt , the Egyptians beheld the woman that she [ was ] very fair .
01_GEN_12_15 the princes also of Pharaoh saw her , And commended her before Pharaoh : And the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house .
01_GEN_12_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 .
01_GEN_12_17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh And his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife .
01_GEN_12_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 ?
01_GEN_12_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 .
01_GEN_12_20 And Pharaoh commanded [ his ] men concerning him : And they sent him away , And his wife , And all that he had .
