11 As he approached Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “Look, I know that you are a beautiful woman.
12 When the Egyptians see you they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me but will keep you alive.
13 So tell them you are my sister so that it may go well for me because of you and my life will be spared on account of you.”
14 When Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
15 When Pharaoh’s officials saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh. So Abram’s wife was taken into the household of Pharaoh,
16 and he did treat Abram well on account of her. Abram received sheep and cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
17 But the Lord struck Pharaoh and his household with severe diseases because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
