7 but the Lord appeared to Abram and promised, “I will give this land to your family for ever.” Abram then built an altar there for the Lord.
8 Abram travelled to the hill country east of Bethel and camped between Bethel and Ai, where he built another altar and worshipped the Lord.
9 Later, Abram started out towards the Southern Desert.
10-11 The crops failed, and there was no food anywhere in the land. So Abram and his wife Sarai went to live in Egypt for a while. But just before they got there, he said, “Sarai, you are really beautiful!
12 When the Egyptians see how lovely you are, they will murder me because I am your husband. But they won't kill you.
13 Please save my life by saying that you are my sister.”
14 As soon as Abram and Sarai arrived in Egypt, the Egyptians noticed how beautiful she was.
