10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land. |
11 And 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 Therefore 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. |
13 Say, 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. |
