8 Then he traveled from Shechem to the mountain east of Bethel and set up his tent there. Bethel was to the west, and Ai was to the east. There Abram built another altar to the Lord and worshiped him.
9 After this, he traveled on toward southern Canaan.
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.
