Genesis 12

1 God calleth Abram, and blesseth him with a promise of Christ. 4 He departeth with Lot from Haran. 6 He journeyeth through Canaan, 7 which is promised him in a vision. 10 He is driven by a famine into Egypt: 11 fear maketh him feign his wife to be his sister. 14 Pharaoh, having taken her from him, by plagues is compelled to restore her.

 12:1 Now the LORD 3068 said 559 to Abram 87, “Go 1980 forth from your country 776, And from your relatives 4138 And from your father’s 1 house 1004, To the land 776 which 834 I will show 7200 you;

 12:2 And I will make 6213a you a great 1419 nation 1471, And I will bless 1288 you, And make 1431 your name 8034 great 1431; And so you shall be a blessing 1293;

 12:3 And I will bless 1288 those who bless 1288 you, And the one who curses 7043 you I will curse 779. And in you all 3605 the families 4940 of the earth 127 will be blessed 1288.”

 12:4 ¶ So Abram 87 went 1980 forth as the LORD 3068 had spoken 1696 to him; and Lot 3876 went 1980 with him. Now Abram 87 was seventy-five 7657 years 8141 old 1121 when he departed 3318 from Haran 2771a.

 12:5 Abram 87 took 3947 Sarai 8297 his wife 802 and Lot 3876 his nephew 1121 251, and all 3605 their possessions 7399 which 834 they had accumulated 7408, and the persons 5315 which 834 they had acquired 6213a in Haran 2771a, and they set 3318 1980 out for the land 776 of Canaan 3667a; thus they came 935 to the land 776 of Canaan 3667a.

 12:6 Abram 87 passed 5674a through 5674a the land 776 as far 5704 as the site 4725 of Shechem 7927, to the oak 436 of Moreh 4176. Now the Canaanite 3669a [was] then 227 in the land 776.

 12:7 The LORD 3068 appeared 7200 to Abram 87 and said 559, “To your descendants 2233 I will give 5414 this 2088 land 776.” So he built 1129 an altar 4196 there 8033 to the LORD 3068 who had appeared 7200 to him.

 12:8 Then he proceeded 6275 from there 8033 to the mountain 2022 on the east 6924a of Bethel 1008, and pitched 5186 his tent 168, with Bethel 1008 on the west 3220 and Ai 5857 on the east 6924a; and there 8033 he built 1129 an altar 4196 to the LORD 3068 and called 7121 upon the name 8034 of the LORD 3068.

 12:9 Abram 87 journeyed 5265 on, continuing 1980 5265 toward the Negev 5045.

 12:10 ¶ Now there was a famine 7458 in the land 776; so Abram 87 went 3381 down 3381 to Egypt 4714 to sojourn 1481a there 8033, for the famine 7458 was severe 3515 in the land 776.

 12:11 It came 1961 about when 3512c he came 7126 935 near 7126 to Egypt 4714, that he said 559 to Sarai 8297 his wife 802, “See 2009 now 4994, I know 3045 that you are a beautiful 3303 woman 802;

 12:12 and when 3588 the Egyptians 4713 see 7200 you, they will say 559, ‘This 2088 is his wife 802’; and they will kill 2026 me, but they will let you live 2421a.

 12:13 “Please 4994 say 559 that you are my sister 269 so 4616 that it may go 3190 well 3190 with me because 5668 of you, and that I may live 2421a on account 1558 of you.”

 12:14 It came 1961 about when Abram 87 came 935 into Egypt 4714, the Egyptians 4713 saw 7200 that the woman 802 was very 3966 beautiful 3303.

 12:15 Pharaoh’s 6547 officials 8269 saw 7200 her and praised 1984b her to Pharaoh 6547; and the woman 802 was taken 3947 into Pharaoh’s 6547 house 1004.

 12:16 Therefore he treated 3190 Abram 87 well 3190 for her sake 5668; and gave 1961 him sheep 6629 and oxen 1241 and donkeys 2543 and male 5650 and female 8198 servants 8198 and female 860 donkeys 860 and camels 1581.

 12:17 ¶ But the LORD 3068 struck 5060 Pharaoh 6547 and his house 1004 with great 1419 plagues 5061 because 5921 1697 of Sarai 8297, Abram’s 87 wife 802.

 12:18 Then Pharaoh 6547 called 7121 Abram 87 and said 559, “What 4100 is this 2088 you have done 6213a to me? Why 4100 did you not tell 5046 me that she was your wife 802?

 12:19 “Why 4100 did you say 559, ‘She is my sister 269,’ so that I took 3947 her for my wife 802? Now 6258 then, here 2009 is your wife 802, take 3947 her and go 1980.”

 12:20 Pharaoh 6547 commanded 6680 [his] men 376 concerning 5921 him; and they escorted 7971 him away 7971, with his wife 802 and all 3605 that belonged to him.
