| [1]And the Lord said to Abram, Go forth out of thy land and out of thy kindred, and out of the house of thy father, and come into the land which I will shew thee. |
[1]NOW the LORD said to Abram, Depart from your country, and from the place of your nativity, and from your father's house, to a land that I will show you; |
| [2]And I will make thee a great nation, and I will bless thee and magnify thy name, and thou shalt be blessed. |
[2]And I will make of you a great people, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing; |
| [3]And I will bless those that bless thee, and curse those that curse thee, and in thee shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed. |
[3]And I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you: and in you shall all the families of the earth be blessed |
| [4]And Abram went as the Lord spoke to him, and Lot departed with him, and Abram was seventy-five years old, when he went out of Charrhan. |
[4]So Abram did as the LORD had spoken to him; and Lot went with him; and Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. |
| [5]And Abram took Sara his wife, and Lot the son of his brother, and all their possessions, as many as they had got, and every soul which they had got in Charrhan, and they went forth to go into the land of Chanaan. |
[5]And Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother's son and all their possessions which they had gained and the persons that they had gotten in Haran, and they went on their way to the land of Canaan, and to the land of Canaan they came |
| [6]And Abram traversed the land lengthwise as far as the place Sychem, to the high oak, and the Chananites then inhabited the land. |
[6]And Abram passed through the land as far as the country of Shechem, and as far as the oak of Mamre. And the Canaanites were settled then in the land. |
| [7]And the Lord appeared to Abram, and said to him, I will give this land to thy seed. And Abram built an altar there to the Lord who appeared to him. |
[7]Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, To your descendants will I give this land; and Abram built there an altar to the LORD, for he had appeared to him. |
| [8]And he departed thence to the mountain eastward of Baethel, and there he pitched his tent in Baethel near the sea, and Aggai toward the east, and there he built an altar to the Lord, and called on the name of the Lord. |
[8]And from thence he removed to a mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the LORD and called upon the name of the LORD, |
| [9]And Abram departed and went and encamped in the wilderness. |
[9]And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south |
| [10]And there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, because the famine prevailed in the land. |
[10]Now there was a famine in the land; so Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was severe in the land. |
| [11]And it came to pass when Abram drew nigh to enter into Egypt, Abram said to Sara his wife, I know that thou art a fair woman. |
[11]And it came to pass when he was about to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that you are a woman beautiful to look upon; |
| [12]It shall come to pass then that when the Egyptians shall see thee, they shall say, This is his wife, and they shall slay me, but they shall save thee alive. |
[12]And it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians see you, they will say, This is his wife; and they will kill me, but they will spare you. |
| [13]Say, therefore, I am his sister, that it may be well with me on account of thee, and my soul shall live because of thee. |
[13]Say, therefore, that you are my sister because I will be treated well for your sake; and my life shall be spared because of you |
| [14]And it came to pass when Abram entered into Egypt—the Egyptians having seen his wife that she was very beautiful— |
[14]And it came to pass when Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that his wife was very beautiful. |
| [15]that the princes of Pharao saw her, and praised her to Pharao and brought her into the house of Pharao. |
[15]The princes of Pharaoh also saw her and praised her before Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house. |
| [16]And they treated Abram well on her account, and he had sheep, and calves, and asses, and men-servants, and women-servants, and mules, and camels. |
[16]And Abram was well treated for her sake; and he became the owner of sheep, oxen, he asses, menservants, maidservants, she asses, and camels. |
| [17]And God afflicted Pharao with great and severe afflictions, and his house, because of Sara, Abram's wife. |
[17]And the LORD afflicted Pharaoh and his household with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife. |
| [18]And Pharao having called Abram, said, What is this thou hast done to me, that thou didst not tell me that she was thy wife? |
[18]So Pharaoh called Abram, and said to him, What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife? |
| [19]Wherefore didst thou say, She is my sister? and I took her for a wife to myself; and now, behold, thy wife is before thee, take her and go quickly away. |
[19]Why did you say, She is my sister, so that I took her for my wife? Now, therefore, here is your wife, take her, and leave the country. |
| [20]And Pharao gave charge to men concerning Abram, to join in sending him forward, and his wife, and all that he had. |
[20]And Pharaoh charged his men concerning him; and sent him away together with his wife, and all that he had |
