11 When he was about to enter Egypt, Abram said to his wife Sarai, “I know that you’re a beautiful woman.
12 When the Egyptians see you, they’ll say, ‘This is his wife!’ Then they’ll kill me but let you live.
13 Please say that you’re my sister. Then everything will be alright for me, and because of you I will live.”
14 When Abram arrived in Egypt, the Egyptians saw how very beautiful his wife was.
15 When Pharaoh’s officials saw her, they raved about her to Pharaoh, so Sarai was taken to Pharaoh’s palace.
16 Everything went well for Abram because of her, and he was given sheep, cattle, donkeys, male and female slaves, and camels.
17 However, the Lord struck Pharaoh and his household with terrible plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
