10 At this time there was not much food in the land, so Abram went down to Egypt to live because there was so little food.
11 Just before they arrived in Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “I know you are a very beautiful woman.
12 When the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This woman is his wife.’ Then they will kill me but let you live.
13 Tell them you are my sister so that things will go well with me and I may be allowed to live because of you.”
14 When Abram came to Egypt, the Egyptians saw that Sarai was very beautiful.
15 The Egyptian officers saw her and told the king of Egypt how beautiful she was. They took her to the king’s palace, and
16 the king was kind to Abram because he thought Abram was her brother. He gave Abram sheep, cattle, male and female donkeys, male and female servants, and camels.
