| [1]And Jehovah saith unto Abram, `Go for thyself, from thy land, and from thy kindred, and from the house of thy father, unto the land which I shew thee. |
[1]For the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house unto the land that I will show thee. |
| [2]And I make thee become a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing. |
[2]And I will make of thee a great nation, and will bless thee, and make thy name great, and thou shalt be a blessing. |
| [3]And I bless those blessing thee, and him who is disesteeming thee I curse, and blessed in thee have been all families of the ground.' |
[3]I will also bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee, and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. |
| [4]And Abram goeth on, as Jehovah hath spoken unto him, and Lot goeth with him, and Abram [is] a son of five and seventy years in his going out from Charan. |
[4]So Abram departed, even as the Lord spake unto him, and Lot went with him. (And Abram was seventy and five year old, when he departed out of Haran) |
| [5]And Abram taketh Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they have gained, and the persons that they have obtained in Charan; and they go out to go towards the land of Canaan; and they come in to the land of Canaan. |
[5]Then Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they possessed, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran, and they departed, to go to the land of Canaan: and to the land of Canaan they came. |
| [6]And Abram passeth over into the land, unto the place Shechem, unto the oak of Moreh; and the Canaanite [is] then in the land. |
[6]So Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, and unto the plain of Moreh (and the Canaanite was then in the land) |
| [7]And Jehovah appeareth unto Abram, and saith, `To thy seed I give this land;' and he buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, who hath appeared unto him. |
[7]And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land. And there builded he an altar unto the Lord, which appeared unto him. |
| [8]And he removeth from thence towards a mountain at the east of Beth-El, and stretcheth out the tent (Beth-El at the west, and Hai at the east), and he buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, and preacheth in the name of Jehovah. |
[8]Afterward removing thence unto a mountain eastward from Beth-el, he pitched his tent having Beth-el on the west side, and Hai on the east: and there he built an altar unto the Lord, and called on the Name of the Lord. |
| [9]And Abram journeyeth, going on and journeying towards the south. |
[9]Again Abram went forth going and journeying toward the south. |
| [10]And there is a famine in the land, and Abram goeth down towards Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine [is] grievous in the land; |
[10]Then there came a famine in the land: therefore Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there: for there was a great famine in the land. |
| [11]and it cometh to pass as he hath drawn near to enter Egypt, that he saith unto Sarai his wife, `Lo, I pray thee, I have known that thou [art] a woman of beautiful appearance; |
[11]And when he drew near to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon: |
| [12]and it hath come to pass that the Egyptians see thee, and they have said, `This [is] his wife,' and they have slain me, and thee they keep alive: |
[12]Therefore it will come to pass, that when the Egyptians see thee, they will say, She is his wife: so will they kill me, but they will keep thee alive. |
| [13]say, I pray thee, thou [art] my sister, so that it is well with me because of thee, and my soul hath lived for thy sake.' |
[13]Say, I pray thee, that thou art my sister, that I may fare well for thy sake, and that my life may be preserved by thee. |
| [14]And it cometh to pass, at the entering of Abram into Egypt, that the Egyptians see the woman that she [is] exceeding fair; |
[14]Now, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman: for she was very fair. |
| [15]and princes of Pharaoh see her, and praise her unto Pharaoh, and the woman is taken [to] Pharaoh's house; |
[15]And the Princes of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her unto Pharaoh: so the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house: |
| [16]and to Abram he hath done good because of her, and he hath sheep and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and handmaids, and she-asses, and camels. |
[16]Who entreated Abram well for her sake, and he had sheep, and beeves, and he asses, and menservants and maidservants, and she asses, and camels. |
| [17]And Jehovah plagueth Pharaoh and his house -- great plagues -- for the matter of Sarai, Abram's wife. |
[17]But the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues, because of Sarai Abram's wife. |
| [18]And Pharaoh calleth for Abram, and saith, `What [is] this thou hast done to me? why hast thou not declared to me that she [is] thy wife? |
[18]Then Pharaoh called Abram, and said, Why hast thou done this unto me? Wherefore didst thou not tell me, that she was thy wife? |
| [19]Why hast thou said, She [is] my sister, and I take her to myself for a wife? and now, lo, thy wife, take and go.' |
[19]Why saidest thou, She is my sister, that I should take her to be my wife? Now therefore behold thy wife, take her and go thy way. |
| [20]And Pharaoh chargeth men concerning him, and they send him away, and his wife, an all that he hath. |
[20]And Pharaoh gave men commandment concerning him: and they conveyed him forth, and his wife, and all that he had. |
