NOW Yahuah had said unto El-Avram, Get you out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father's house, unto a land that I will show you:
And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing:
And I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curses you: and in you shall all families of the earth be blessed.
So Avram departed, as Yahuah had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Avram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
And Avram took Sarai his woman, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Kena`an; and into the land of Kena`an they came.
And Avram passed through the land unto the place of Shekem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Kena`aniy was then in the land.
And Yahuah appeared unto El-Avram, and said, Unto your seed will I give this land: and there built he an altar unto Yahuah, who appeared unto him.
And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Beyt-El, and pitched his tent, having Beyt-El on the west, and Ai on the east: and there he built an altar unto Yahuah, and called upon the name of Yahuah.
And Avram journeyed, going on still toward the Negev.
And there was a famine in the land: and Avram went down into Mitsrayim to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Mitsrayim, that he said unto El-Sarai his woman, Behold now, I know that you are a fair woman to look upon:
Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Mitsriym shall see you, that they shall say, This is his woman: and they will kill me, but they will save you alive.
Say, I pray you, you are my sister: that it may be well with me for your sake; and my soul shall live because of you.
And it came to pass, that, when Avram was come into Mitsrayim, the Mitsriym beheld the woman that she was very fair.
The princes also of Phar'oh saw her, and commended her before Phar'oh: and the woman was taken into Phar'oh's house.
And he intreated Avram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.
And Yahuah plagued Phar'oh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Avram's woman.
And Phar'oh called Avram, and said, What is this that you have done unto me? why did you not tell me that she was your woman?
Why said you, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to be my woman: now therefore behold your woman, take her, and go your way.
And Phar'oh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his woman, and all that he had.
