Abram Journeys to Egypt

(Act 7:2–5 )

Gen 12:1Now Jehovah 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:

Gen 12:2

Gen 12:2and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing:

Gen 12:3

Gen 12:3and I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse: and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

Gen 12:4

Gen 12:4So Abram went, as Jehovah had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

Gen 12:5

Gen 12:5And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.

Gen 12:6

Gen 12:6And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Shechem, unto the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.

Gen 12:7

Gen 12:7And Jehovah appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto Jehovah, who appeared unto him.

Gen 12:8

Gen 12:8And he removed from thence unto the 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 builded an altar unto Jehovah, and called upon the name of Jehovah.

Gen 12:9

Gen 12:9And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the South.

Gen 12:10

Gen 12:10And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was sore in the land.

Gen 12:11

Gen 12:11And 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:

Gen 12:12

Gen 12:12and it will come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they will say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.

Gen 12:13

Gen 12:13Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister; that it may be well with me for thy sake, and that my soul may live because of thee.

Gen 12:14

Gen 12:14And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.

Gen 12:15

Gen 12:15And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.

Gen 12:16

Gen 12:16And he dealt well with Abram for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and she-asses, and camels.

Gen 12:17

Gen 12:17And Jehovah plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.

Gen 12:18

Gen 12:18And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?

Gen 12:19

Gen 12:19why saidst thou, She is my sister, so that I took her to be my wife? now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.

Gen 12:20

Gen 12:20And Pharaoh gave men charge concerning him: and they brought him on the way, and his wife, and all that he had.
