Genesis 12:18

Verse 18 of 20. The 12th of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

14When Abram had come into Egypt, some Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.

15The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.

16He dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.

17The LORD afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.

18Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why didn’t you tell me that she was your wife?

19Why 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.”

20Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they escorted him away with his wife and all that he had.
