Genesis 12:14-20 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

14. It came about when Abram came into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.

15. Pharaoh's officials saw her and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

16. Therefore he treated Abram well for her sake; and gave him sheep and oxen and donkeys and male and female servants and female donkeys and camels.

17. But the Lord struck Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.

18. Then Pharaoh called Abram and said, "What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?

19. Why did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I took her for my wife? Now then, here is your wife, take her and go."

20. Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him; and they escorted him away, with his wife and all that belonged to him.
