9 So Abram journeyed, agoing on still toward the South.
Abram in Egypt
10 Now there was aa famine in the land, and Abram bwent down to Egypt to dwell there, for the famine was csevere in the land.
11 And it came to pass, when he was close to entering Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, “Indeed I know that you are aa woman of beautiful countenance.
12 Therefore it will happen, when the Egyptians see you, that they will say, ‘This is his wife’; and they awill kill me, but they will let you live.
13 aPlease say you are my bsister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that1 I may live because of you.”
14 So it was, when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians saw the woman, that she was very beautiful.
15 The princes of Pharaoh also saw her and commended her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken to Pharaoh’s house.
