Genesis - Chapter: 12

>
12:1Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
12:2And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
12:3And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
12:4So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
12:5And Abram took Sarai his wife, 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 Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
12:6And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
12:7And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.
12:8And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.
12:9And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
12:10And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
12:11And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:
12:12Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
12:13Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
12:14And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
12:15The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
12:16And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.
12:17And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
12:18And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
12:19Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
12:20And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.

12:12והיה כי יראו אתך המצרים ואמרו אשׁתו זאת והרגו אתי ואתך יחיו׃
12:13אמרי נא אחתי את למען ייטב לי בעבורך וחיתה נפשׁי בגללך׃
12:14ויהי כבוא אברם מצרימה ויראו המצרים את האשׁה כי יפה הוא מאד׃
12:15ויראו אתה שׂרי פרעה ויהללו אתה אל פרעה ותקח האשׁה בית פרעה׃
12:16ולאברם היטיב בעבורה ויהי לו צאן ובקר וחמרים ועבדים ושׁפחת ואתנת וגמלים׃
12:17וינגע יהוה את פרעה נגעים גדלים ואת ביתו על דבר שׂרי אשׁת אברם׃
12:18ויקרא פרעה לאברם ויאמר מה זאת עשׂית לי למה לא הגדת לי כי אשׁתך הוא׃
12:19למה אמרת אחתי הוא ואקח אתה לי לאשׁה ועתה הנה אשׁתך קח ולך׃
12:20ויצו עליו פרעה אנשׁים וישׁלחו אתו ואת אשׁתו ואת כל אשׁר׃

 

12:1And Jehovah saith unto Abram, `Go for thyself, from thy land, and from thy kindred, and from the house of thy father, unto the land which I shew thee.
12:2And I make thee become a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing.
12:3And I bless those blessing thee, and him who is disesteeming thee I curse, and blessed in thee have been all families of the ground.'
12:4And Abram goeth on, as Jehovah hath spoken unto him, and Lot goeth with him, and Abram `is' a son of five and seventy years in his going out from Charan.
12:5And Abram taketh Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they have gained, and the persons that they have obtained in Charan; and they go out to go towards the land of Canaan; and they come in to the land of Canaan.
12:6And Abram passeth over into the land, unto the place Shechem, unto the oak of Moreh; and the Canaanite `is' then in the land.
12:7And Jehovah appeareth unto Abram, and saith, `To thy seed I give this land;' and he buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, who hath appeared unto him.
12:8And he removeth from thence towards a mountain at the east of Beth-El, and stretcheth out the tent (Beth-El at the west, and Hai at the east), and he buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, and preacheth in the name of Jehovah.
12:9And Abram journeyeth, going on and journeying towards the south.
12:10And there is a famine in the land, and Abram goeth down towards Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine `is' grievous in the land;
12:11and it cometh to pass as he hath drawn near to enter Egypt, that he saith unto Sarai his wife, `Lo, I pray thee, I have known that thou `art' a woman of beautiful appearance;
12:12and it hath come to pass that the Egyptians see thee, and they have said, `This `is' his wife,' and they have slain me, and thee they keep alive:
12:13say, I pray thee, thou `art' my sister, so that it is well with me because of thee, and my soul hath lived for thy sake.'
12:14And it cometh to pass, at the entering of Abram into Egypt, that the Egyptians see the woman that she `is' exceeding fair;
12:15and princes of Pharaoh see her, and praise her unto Pharaoh, and the woman is taken `to' Pharaoh's house;
12:16and to Abram he hath done good because of her, and he hath sheep and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and handmaids, and she-asses, and camels.
12:17And Jehovah plagueth Pharaoh and his house -- great plagues -- for the matter of Sarai, Abram's wife.
12:18And Pharaoh calleth for Abram, and saith, `What `is' this thou hast done to me? why hast thou not declared to me that she `is' thy wife?
12:19Why hast thou said, She `is' my sister, and I take her to myself for a wife? and now, lo, thy wife, take and go.'
12:20And Pharaoh chargeth men concerning him, and they send him away, and his wife, an all that he hath.
