And the LORD 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; |
| 2
|
and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great, and thou shalt be blessed; |
| 3
|
I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and in thee shall all families of the earth.

So Abram went, as the Lord said to him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. |
| 5
|
And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the souls which they had gotten in Haran; and went out to go into the land of Canaan; and came to the land of Canaan.

And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. Then in the land [lived] the Canaanites. |
| 7
|
And the LORD appeared to Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land. And made [it] there an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him. |

|
From there he moved to the mountain on the east of Bethel; and pitched his tent [so that from him] Bethel [was] the west, and Ai on the east; and he built there an altar to the LORD and called on the name of the Lord. |

And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.

|
And there was a famine in the land. And Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there, because the famine was severe in the land. |
| eleven
|
When he was about to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, Behold, I know that you are a woman beautiful in appearance; |
| 12
|
and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, This is his wife; and they will kill me but will let you live; |
| 13
|
Say, you are my sister, that I was good for you, and shall live because of thee my soul.
|
| 14
|
And it was, when Abram came into Egypt, the Egyptians saw the woman that she was very beautiful; |
| 15
|
We saw it, and the princes of Pharaoh, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house. |
| 16
|
And he entreated Abram well for her sake; and he had sheep and oxen and donkeys and male and female slaves, and camels. |
| 17
|
But the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house because of Sarai, Abram's wife. |
| 18
|
And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What have you done to me? Why not tell me that she was your wife? |
| 19
|
Why did you say, She is my sister? and I took her to be his wife. And now behold thy wife; Take it and go. |
| 20
|
And he gave it to Pharaoh commanded his men, and followed him, and his wife, and all that he had. |
