12:1 Now the LORD 3068 had said 559 8799 unto Abram 87, Get thee out 3212 8798 of thy country 776, and from thy kindred 4138, and from thy father's 1 house 1004, unto a land 776 that I will shew 7200 8686 thee:

12:2 And I will make of thee 6213 8799 a great 1419 nation 1471, and I will bless 1288 8762 thee, and make 1431 0 thy name 8034 great 1431 8762; and thou shalt be a blessing 1293:

12:3 And I will bless 1288 8762 them that bless 1288 8764 thee, and curse 779 8799 him that curseth 7043 8764 thee: and in thee shall all families 4940 of the earth 127 be blessed 1288 8738.

12:4 So Abram 87 departed 3212 8799, as the LORD 3068 had spoken 1696 8765 unto him; and Lot 3876 went 3212 8799 with him: and Abram 87 [was] seventy 7657 8141 and five 2568 years 8141 old 1121 when he departed 3318 8800 out of Haran 2771.

12:5 And Abram 87 took 3947 8799 Sarai 8297 his wife 802, and Lot 3876 his brother's 251 son 1121, and all their substance 7399 that they had gathered 7408 8804, and the souls 5315 that they had gotten 6213 8804 in Haran 2771; and they went forth 3318 8799 to go 3212 8800 into the land 776 of Canaan 3667; and into the land 776 of Canaan 3667 they came 935 8799.

12:6 And Abram 87 passed through 5674 8799 the land 776 unto the place 4725 of Sichem 7927, unto the plain 436 of Moreh 4176. And the Canaanite 3669 [was] then 227 in the land 776.

12:7 And the LORD 3068 appeared 7200 8735 unto Abram 87, and said 559 8799, Unto thy seed 2233 will I give 5414 8799 this 2063 land 776: and there builded 1129 8799 he an altar 4196 unto the LORD 3068, who appeared 7200 8737 unto him.

12:8 And he removed 6275 8686 from thence unto a mountain 2022 on the east 6924 of Bethel 1008, and pitched 5186 8799 his tent 168, [having] Bethel 1008 on the west 3220, and Hai 5857 on the east 6924: and there he builded 1129 8799 an altar 4196 unto the LORD 3068, and called 7121 8799 upon the name 8034 of the LORD 3068.

12:9 And Abram 87 journeyed 5265 8799, going on 1980 8800 still 5265 8800 toward the south 5045.(going…: Heb. in going and journeying)

12:10 And there was a famine 7458 in the land 776: and Abram 87 went down 3381 8799 into Egypt 4714 to sojourn 1481 8800 there; for the famine 7458 [was] grievous 3515 in the land 776.

12:11 And it came to pass, when 834 he was come near 7126 8689 to enter 935 8800 into Egypt 4714, that he said 559 8799 unto Sarai 8297 his wife 802, Behold 2009 now 4994, I know 3045 8804 that thou [art] a fair 3303 woman 802 to look upon 4758:

12:12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians 4713 shall see 7200 8799 thee, that they shall say 559 8804, This [is] his wife 802: and they will kill 2026 8804 me, but they will save thee alive 2421 8762.

12:13 Say 559 8798, I pray thee 4994, thou [art] my sister 269: that 4616 it may be well 3190 8799 with me for thy sake; and my soul 5315 shall live 2421 8804 because of thee 1558.

12:14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram 87 was come 935 8800 into Egypt 4714, the Egyptians 4713 beheld 7200 8799 the woman 802 that she [was] very 3966 fair 3303.

12:15 The princes 8269 also of Pharaoh 6547 saw 7200 8799 her, and commended 1984 8762 her before 413 Pharaoh 6547: and the woman 802 was taken 3947 8714 into Pharaoh's 6547 house 1004.

12:16 And he entreated 3190 0 Abram 87 well 3190 8689 for her sake: and he had sheep 6629, and oxen 1241, and he asses 2543, and menservants 5650, and maidservants 8198, and she asses 860, and camels 1581.

12:17 And the LORD 3068 plagued 5060 8762 Pharaoh 6547 and his house 1004 with great 1419 plagues 5061 because of 1697 Sarai 8297 Abram's 87 wife 802.

12:18 And Pharaoh 6547 called 7121 8799 Abram 87, and said 559 8799, What [is] this [that] thou hast done 6213 8804 unto me? why didst thou not tell 5046 8689 me that she [was] thy wife 802?

12:19 Why saidst thou 559 8804, She [is] my sister 269? so I might have taken 3947 8799 her to me to wife 802: now therefore behold thy wife 802, take 3947 8798 [her], and go thy way 3212 8798.

12:20 And Pharaoh 6547 commanded 6680 8762 [his] men 582 concerning him: and they sent him away 7971 8762, and his wife 802, and all that he had.
