16. Abram fared well on her account, and he acquired sheep, oxen, male and female servants, male and female donkeys, and camels.

17. But the Lord struck Pharaoh and his household with severe plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.

18. Then Pharaoh summoned Abram and said to him: “How could you do this to me! Why did you not tell me she was your wife?

19. Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her for my wife? Now, here is your wife. Take her and leave!”

20. Then Pharaoh gave his men orders concerning Abram, and they sent him away, with his wife and all that belonged to him.
