Book 01 : GENESIS - Chapter 012
012:001
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
012:002
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
012:003
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
012:004
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
012:005
And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem,
unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the
land
012:006
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
012:007
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
012:008
And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south
012:009
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
012:010
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
012:011
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
012:012
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
012:013
And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the
Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair
012:014
The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before
Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house
012:015
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
012:016
And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues
because of Sarai Abram's wife
012:017
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
012:018
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
012:019
And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent
him away, and his wife, and all that he had
