Genesis 12

12:1

Now the LORD
<03068>

had said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abram
<087>_,

Get thee out
<03212> (8798)

of thy country
<0776>_,

and from thy kindred
<04138>_,

and from thy father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

unto a land
<0776>

that I will shew
<07200> (8686)

thee:

12:2

And I will make of thee
<06213> (8799)

a great
<01419>

nation
<01471>_,

and I will bless
<01288> (8762)

thee, and make
<01431> (0)

thy name
<08034>

great
<01431> (8762)_;

and thou shalt be a blessing
<01293>_:

12:3

And I will bless
<01288> (8762)

them that bless
<01288> (8764)

thee, and curse
<0779> (8799)

him that curseth
<07043> (8764)

thee: and in thee shall all families
<04940>

of the earth
<0127>

be blessed
<01288> (8738)_.

12:4

So Abram
<087>

departed
<03212> (8799)_,

as the LORD
<03068>

had spoken
<01696> (8765)

unto him; and Lot
<03876>

went
<03212> (8799)

with him: and Abram
<087>

[was] seventy
<07657> <08141>

and five
<02568>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>

when he departed
<03318> (8800)

out of Haran
<02771>_.

12:5

And Abram
<087>

took
<03947> (8799)

Sarai
<08297>

his wife
<0802>_,

and Lot
<03876>

his brother's
<0251>

son
<01121>_,

and all their substance
<07399>

that they had gathered
<07408> (8804)_,

and the souls
<05315>

that they had gotten
<06213> (8804)

in Haran
<02771>_;

and they went forth
<03318> (8799)

to go
<03212> (8800)

into the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_;

and into the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>

they came
<0935> (8799)_.

12:6

And Abram
<087>

passed through
<05674> (8799)

the land
<0776>

unto the place
<04725>

of Sichem
<07927>_,

unto the plain
<0436>

of Moreh
<04176>_.

And the Canaanite
<03669>

[was] then
<0227>

in the land
<0776>_.

{plain: Heb. plains}

12:7

And the LORD
<03068>

appeared
<07200> (8735)

unto Abram
<087>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Unto thy seed
<02233>

will I give
<05414> (8799)

this
<02063>

land
<0776>_:

and there builded
<01129> (8799)

he an altar
<04196>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

who appeared
<07200> (8737)

unto him.

12:8

And he removed
<06275> (8686)

from thence unto a mountain
<02022>

on the east
<06924>

of Bethel
<01008>_,

and pitched
<05186> (8799)

his tent
<0168>_,

[having] Bethel
<01008>

on the west
<03220>_,

and Hai
<05857>

on the east
<06924>_:

and there he builded
<01129> (8799)

an altar
<04196>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

upon the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

12:9

And Abram
<087>

journeyed
<05265> (8799)_,

going on
<01980> (8800)

still
<05265> (8800)

toward the south
<05045>_.

{going...: Heb. in going and journeying}

12:10

And there was a famine
<07458>

in the land
<0776>_:

and Abram
<087>

went down
<03381> (8799)

into Egypt
<04714>

to sojourn
<01481> (8800)

there; for the famine
<07458>

[was] grievous
<03515>

in the land
<0776>_.

12:11

And it came to pass, when
<0834>

he was come near
<07126> (8689)

to enter
<0935> (8800)

into Egypt
<04714>_,

that he said
<0559> (8799)

unto Sarai
<08297>

his wife
<0802>_,

Behold
<02009>

now
<04994>_,

I know
<03045> (8804)

that thou [art] a fair
<03303>

woman
<0802>

to look upon
<04758>_:

12:12

Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians
<04713>

shall see
<07200> (8799)

thee, that they shall say
<0559> (8804)_,

This [is] his wife
<0802>_:

and they will kill
<02026> (8804)

me, but they will save thee alive
<02421> (8762)_.

12:13

Say
<0559> (8798)_,

I pray thee
<04994>_,

thou [art] my sister
<0269>_:

that
<04616>

it may be well
<03190> (8799)

with me for thy sake; and my soul
<05315>

shall live
<02421> (8804)

because of thee
<01558>_.

12:14

And it came to pass, that, when Abram
<087>

was come
<0935> (8800)

into Egypt
<04714>_,

the Egyptians
<04713>

beheld
<07200> (8799)

the woman
<0802>

that she [was] very
<03966>

fair
<03303>_.

12:15

The princes
<08269>

also of Pharaoh
<06547>

saw
<07200> (8799)

her, and commended
<01984> (8762)

her before
<0413>

Pharaoh
<06547>_:

and the woman
<0802>

was taken
<03947> (8714)

into Pharaoh's
<06547>

house
<01004>_.

12:16

And he entreated
<03190> (0)

Abram
<087>

well
<03190> (8689)

for her sake: and he had sheep
<06629>_,

and oxen
<01241>_,

and he asses
<02543>_,

and menservants
<05650>_,

and maidservants
<08198>_,

and she asses
<0860>_,

and camels
<01581>_.

12:17

And the LORD
<03068>

plagued
<05060> (8762)

Pharaoh
<06547>

and his house
<01004>

with great
<01419>

plagues
<05061>

because of
<01697>

Sarai
<08297>

Abram's
<087>

wife
<0802>_.

12:18

And Pharaoh
<06547>

called
<07121> (8799)

Abram
<087>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

What [is] this [that] thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

unto me? why didst thou not tell
<05046> (8689)

me that she [was] thy wife
<0802>_?

12:19

Why saidst thou
<0559> (8804)_,

She [is] my sister
<0269>_?

so I might have taken
<03947> (8799)

her to me to wife
<0802>_:

now therefore behold thy wife
<0802>_,

take
<03947> (8798)

[her], and go thy way
<03212> (8798)_.

12:20

And Pharaoh
<06547>

commanded
<06680> (8762)

[his] men
<0582>

concerning him: and they sent him away
<07971> (8762)_,

and his wife
<0802>_,

and all that he had.
