1Now Adonai said to Avram Exalted father, “Leave your country, and your relatives, and your father’s house, and go to the land that I will show you.
2I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.
3I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
4So Avram Exalted father went out, as Adonai had told him. Lot Veil, Covering went with him. Avram Exalted father was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran Mountaineer.
5Avram Exalted father took Sarai Mockery his wife, Lot Veil, Covering his brother’s son, all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran Mountaineer, and they went to go into the land of Canaan Humbled. They entered into the land of Canaan Humbled.
6Avram Exalted father passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. The Canaanites Descendants of Humbled were in the land, then.
7Adonai appeared to Avram Exalted father and said, “I will give this land to your seed.” He built an altar there to Adonai , who had appeared to him.
8He left from there to go to the mountain on the east of Beth-el House of God and pitched his tent, having Beth-el House of God on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to Adonai and called on Adonai ’s name.
9Avram Exalted father traveled, still going on toward the South.
10There was a famine in the land. Avram Exalted father went down into Egypt Abode of slavery to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe in the land.
11When he had come near to enter Egypt Abode of slavery, he said to Sarai Mockery his wife, “See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look at.
12It will happen, when the Egyptians people from Abode of slavery see you, that they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ They will kill me, but they will save you alive.
13Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that my soul may live because of you.” (2)
14When Avram Exalted father had come into Egypt Abode of slavery, Egyptians people from Abode of slavery saw that the woman was very beautiful.
15The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
16He dealt well with Avram Exalted father for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
17Adonai afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Mockery, Avram Exalted father’s wife.
18Pharaoh called Avram Exalted father and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why didn’t you tell me that she was your wife?

19Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, see your wife, take her, and go your way.”
20Pharaoh enjoined men concerning him, and they escorted him away with his wife and all that he had.
