Genesis 12:11-16 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

11. Just as he was about to enter Egypt he said to Sarai his wife, “Look, please, I know that you are an attractive woman.

12. So when the Egyptians see you they’ll say, ‘This is his wife.’ And they’ll kill me; but you, they’ll let live.

13. Please say that you are my sister, so that I’ll be treated well for your sake, and my life will be spared because of you.”

14. When Abram came to Egypt, the Egyptians did see that the woman was very beautiful.

15. Indeed, Pharaoh’s officials saw her and they raved about her to Pharaoh. Then the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.

16. But Abram was treated well for her sake, and he got sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male and female slaves, female donkeys and camels.
