11. And when he was about to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, I know that you are beautiful to behold.
12. So when the Egyptians see you, they will say, This is his wife; and they will kill me, but they will let you live.
13. Say, I beg of you, that you are my sister, so that it may go well with me for your sake and my life will be spared because of you.
14. And when Abram came into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
15. The princes of Pharaoh also saw her and commended her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into Pharaoh's house [harem].
16. And he treated Abram well for her sake; he acquired sheep, oxen, he-donkeys, menservants, maidservants, she-donkeys, and camels.
17. But the Lord scourged Pharaoh and his household with serious plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
18. And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?
