10 There was at that time a terrible famine in the land: and so Abram went on down to Egypt to live.
14 And sure enough, when they arrived in Egypt everyone spoke of her beauty.
15 When the palace aides saw her, they praised her to their king, the Pharaoh, and she was taken into his harem.
16 Then Pharaoh gave Abram many gifts because of her—sheep, oxen, donkeys, men and women slaves, and camels.
17 But the Lord sent a terrible plague upon Pharaoh’s household on account of her being there.
18 Then Pharaoh called Abram before him and accused him sharply. “What is this you have done to me?” he demanded. “Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife?
19 Why were you willing to let me marry her, saying she was your sister? Here, take her and be gone!”
20 And Pharaoh sent them out of the country under armed escort—Abram, his wife, and all his household and possessions.
