< Genesis 12 >
1 Now Yahweh said to Abram, “Go from your country, and from your relatives, and from your father's household, to the land that I will show you.
And he said Yahweh to Abram go for yourself from land your and from kindred your and from [the] household of father your to the land which I will show you.
2 I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, and you will be a blessing.
So I may make you into a nation great and I will bless you and I will make great name your and you be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you, but whoever dishonors you I will curse. Through you will all the families of the earth be blessed.”
So let me bless [those who] bless you and [one who] disdains you I will curse and they will be blessed by you all [the] clans of the earth.
4 So Abram went, as Yahweh had told him to do, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.
And he went Abram just as he had said to him Yahweh and he went with him Lot and Abram [was] a son of five years and seventy year[s] when came out he from Haran.
5 Abram took Sarai, his wife, Lot, his brother's son, all their possessions that they had accumulated, and the people that they had acquired in Haran. They left to go into the land of Canaan, and came to the land of Canaan.
And he took Abram Sarai wife his and Lot [the] son of brother his and all possession[s] their which they had accumulated and the person[s] whom they had acquired in Haran and they went out to go [the] land of towards Canaan and they came [the] land of towards Canaan.
6 Abram passed through the land as far as Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites lived in the land.
And he passed Abram in the land to [the] place of Shechem to [the] great tree of Moreh and the Canaanite[s] then [was] in the land.
7 Yahweh appeared to Abram, and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” So there Abram built an altar to Yahweh, who had appeared to him.
And he appeared Yahweh to Abram and he said to offspring your I will give the land this and he built there an altar to Yahweh who had appeared to him.
8 From there he moved to the hill country to the east of Bethel, where he pitched his tent, with Bethel to the west and Ai to the east. There he built an altar to Yahweh and called on the name of Yahweh.
And he moved on from there the hill country towards from [the] east of Beth-el and he pitched (tent his *Q(K)*) Beth-el [was] from [the] west and Ai [was] from [the] east and he built there an altar to Yahweh and he called on [the] name of Yahweh.
9 Then Abram continued journeying, going toward the Negev.
And he journeyed Abram going and journeying the south towards.
10 There was a famine in the land, so Abram went down into Egypt to stay, for the famine was severe in the land.
And it was a famine in the land and he went down Abram Egypt towards to sojourn there for [was] heavy the famine in the land.
11 When he was about to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “See here, I know that you are a beautiful woman.
And it was just as he drew near to enter Egypt and he said to Sarai wife his here! please I know that [are] a woman beautiful of appearance you.
12 When the Egyptians see you they will say, 'This is his wife,' and they will kill me, but they will keep you alive.
And it will be that they will see you the Egyptians and they will say [is] wife his this and they will kill me and you they will let live.
13 Say that you are my sister, so that it may be well with me because of you, and so that my life will be spared because of you.”
Say please [are] sister my you so that it may go well for me for sake of you and it will live life my on account of you.
14 It came about that when Abram entered into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that Sarai was very beautiful.
And it was when entered Abram Egypt and they saw the Egyptians the woman that [was] beautiful she very.
15 The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh, and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's household.
And they saw her [the] officials of Pharaoh and they praised her to Pharaoh and she was taken the woman [the] house of Pharaoh.
16 Pharaoh treated Abram well for her sake, and gave him sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
And to Abram he did good for sake of her and it be[longed] to him sheep and cattle and [male] donkeys and [male] servants and female servants and female donkeys and camels.
17 Then Yahweh afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
And he struck Yahweh - Pharaoh plagues great and house his on [the] matter of Sarai [the] wife of Abram.
18 Pharaoh summoned Abram, and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?
And he summoned Pharaoh Abram and he said what? this have you done to me why? not did you tell to me that [was] wife your she.
19 Why did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, here is your wife. Take her, and go your way.”
Why? did you say [is] sister my she and I took her for myself to a wife and now here! wife your take [her] and go.
20 Then Pharaoh gave orders to his men concerning him, and they sent him away, along with his wife and all that he had.
And he commanded on him Pharaoh men and they sent away him and wife his and all that [belonged] to him.
