[1] Now Yahweh said to Abram, “Leave your country, and your relatives, and your father’s house, and go to the land that I will show you. [2] I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing. [3] I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who treats you with contempt. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.” [4] So Abram went, as Yahweh had told him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. [5] Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother’s son, all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they went to go into the land of Canaan. They entered into the land of Canaan. [6] Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time, Canaanites were in the land. [7] Yahweh appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.”§He built an altar there to Yahweh, who had appeared to him. [8] He left from there to go to the mountain on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to Yahweh and called on Yahweh’s name. [9] Abram traveled, still going on toward the South. [10] There was a famine in the land. Abram went down into Egypt to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe in the land. [11] When he had come near to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look at. [12] It will happen that when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ They will kill me, but they will save you alive. [13] Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that my soul may live because of you.” [14] When Abram had come into Egypt, some Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful. [15] The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house. [16] He dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels. [17] Yahweh afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife. [18] Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why didn’t you tell me that she was your wife? [19] Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, see your wife, take her, and go your way.” [20] Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they escorted him away with his wife and all that he had.

God calls Abraham

[1] Now the Lord H3068 had said H559 unto H413 Abram, H87 Get H3212 thee out H3212 of thy country, H776 and from thy kindred, H4138 and from thy father’s H1 house, H1004 unto H413 a land H776 that H834 I will shew thee: H7200 [2] and I will make of thee H6213 a great H1419 nation, H1471 and I will bless thee, H1288 and make H1431 thy name H8034 great; H1431 and thou shalt be H1961 a blessing: H1293 [3] and I will bless H1288 them that bless thee, H1288 and curse H779 him that curseth thee: H7043 and in thee shall H1288 all H3605 families H4940 of the earth H127 be blessed. H1288 [4] So Abram H87 departed, H3212 as H834 the Lord H3068 had spoken H1696 unto him; H413 and Lot H3876 went H3212 with him: H854 and Abram H87 was seventy H7657 and five H2568 H8141 years H8141 old H1121 when he departed H3318 out of Haran. H2771 [5] And Abram H87 took H3947 H853 Sarai H8297 his wife, H802 and H853 Lot H3876 his brother’s H251 son, H1121 and H853 all H3605 their substance H7399 that H834 they had gathered, H7408 and H853 the souls H5315 that H834 they had gotten H6213 in Haran; H2771 and they went forth H3318 to go H3212 into the land H776 of Canaan; H3667 and into the land H776 of Canaan H3667 they came. H935 [6] And Abram H87 passed H5674 through the land H776 unto H5704 the place H4725 of Sichem, H7927 unto H5704 the plain H436 of Moreh. H4176 And the Canaanite H3669 was then H227 in the land. H776 [7] And the Lord H3068 appeared H7200 unto H413 Abram, H87 and said, H559 Unto thy seed H2233 will I give H5414 H853 this H2063 land: H776 and there H8033 builded H1129 he H1129 an altar H4196 unto the Lord, H3068 who appeared H7200 unto him. H413 [8] And he removed H6275 from thence H8033 unto a mountain H2022 on the east H6924 of Beth H1008-el, H1008 and pitched H5186 his tent, H168 having Beth H1008-el H1008 on the west, H3220 and Hai H5857 on the east: H6924 and there H8033 he builded H1129 an altar H4196 unto the Lord, H3068 and called H7121 upon the name H8034 of the Lord. H3068 [9] And Abram H87 journeyed, H5265 going on H1980 still H5265 toward the south. H5045§ [10] And there was H1961 a famine H7458 in the land: H776 and Abram H87 went down H3381 into Egypt H4714 to sojourn H1481 there; H8033 for H3588 the famine H7458 was grievous H3515 in the land. H776 [11] And it came to pass, H1961 when H834 he was come near H7126 to enter H935 into Egypt, H4714 that he said H559 unto H413 Sarai H8297 his wife, H802 Behold H2009 now, H4994 I know H3045 that H3588 thou H859 art a fair H3303 woman H802 to look upon: H4758 [12] therefore it shall come to pass, H1961 when H3588 the Egyptians H4713 shall see H7200 thee, H853 that they shall say, H559 This H2063 is his wife: H802 and they will kill H2026 me, H853 but they will save H2421 thee H853 alive. H2421 [13] Say, H559 I pray thee, H4994 thou H859 art my sister: H269 that H4616 it may be well H3190 with me for thy sake; H5668 and my soul H5315 shall live H2421 because of thee. H1558 [14] And it came to pass, H1961 that, when Abram H87 was come H935 into Egypt, H4714 the Egyptians H4713 beheld H7200 H853 the woman H802 that H3588 she H1931 was very H3966 fair. H3303 [15] The princes H8269 also of Pharaoh H6547 saw H7200 her, H853 and commended H1984 her H853 before H413 Pharaoh: H6547 and the woman H802 was taken H3947 into Pharaoh’s H6547 house. H1004 [16] And he entreated H3190 Abram H87 well H3190 for her sake: H5668 and he had H1961 sheep, H6629 and oxen, H1241 and he asses, H2543 and menservants, H5650 and maidservants, H8198 and she asses, H860 and camels. H1581 [17] And the Lord H3068 plagued H5060 H853 Pharaoh H6547 and H853 his house H1004 with great H1419 plagues H5061 because of H5921 H1697 Sarai H8297 Abram’s H87 wife. H802 [18] And Pharaoh H6547 called H7121 Abram, H87 and said, H559 What H4100 is this H2063 that thou hast done H6213 unto me? why H4100 didst thou H5046 not H3808 tell H5046 me that H3588 she H1931 was thy wife? H802 [19] Why H4100 saidst thou, H559 She H1931 is my sister? H269 so I might have taken H3947 her H853 to me to wife: H802 now therefore H6258 behold H2009 thy wife, H802 take H3947 her, and go thy way. H3212 [20] And Pharaoh H6547 commanded H6680 his men H582 concerning him: H5921 and they sent H7971 him H853 away, H7971 and H853 his wife, H802 and H853 all H3605 that H834 he had.
