| 10 | There came a famine in the land, so severe that Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while. | Abram in Egypt. Gn.12.10-20 | וַיְהִי רָעָב בָּאָרֶץ וַיֵּרֶד אַבְרָם מִצְרַיְמָה לָגוּר שָׁם כִּי־כָבֵד הָרָעָב בָּאָרֶץ׃ |
|
| 11 | When he was approaching Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, 'I know very well that you are a beautiful woman, | | וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר הִקְרִיב לָבֹוא מִצְרָיְמָה וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־שָׂרַי אִשְׁתֹּו הִנֵּה־נָא יָדַעְתִּי כִּי אִשָּׁה יְפַת־מַרְאֶה אָתְּ׃ |
|
| 12 | and that when the Egyptians see you, they will say, "She is his wife"; then they will kill me but let you live. | | וְהָיָה כִּי־יִרְאוּ אֹתָךְ הַמִּצְרִים וְאָמְרוּ אִשְׁתֹּו זֹאת וְהָרְגוּ אֹתִי וְאֹתָךְ יְחַיּוּ׃ |
|
| 13 | Tell them that you are my sister, so that all may go well with me because of you and my life may be spared on your account.' | | אִמְרִי־נָא אֲחֹתִי אָתְּ לְמַעַן יִיטַב־לִי בַעֲבוּרֵךְ וְחָיְתָה נַפְשִׁי בִּגְלָלֵךְ׃ |
|
| 14 | When Abram arrived in Egypt, the Egyptians saw that she was indeed very beautiful. | | וַיְהִי כְּבֹוא אַבְרָם מִצְרָיְמָה וַיִּרְאוּ הַמִּצְרִים אֶת־הָאִשָּׁה כִּי־יָפָה הִוא מְאֹד׃ |
|
| 15 | Pharaoh's courtiers saw her and praised her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into Pharaoh's household. | | וַיִּרְאוּ אֹתָהּ שָׂרֵי פַרְעֹה וַיְהַלְלוּ אֹתָהּ אֶל־פַּרְעֹה וַתֻּקַּח הָאִשָּׁה בֵּית פַּרְעֹה׃ |
|
| 16 | He treated Abram well because of her, and Abram came to possess sheep and cattle and asses, male and female slaves, she-asses, and camels. | | וּלְאַבְרָם הֵיטִיב בַּעֲבוּרָהּ וַיְהִי־לֹו צֹאן־וּבָקָר וַחֲמֹרִים וַעֲבָדִים וּשְׁפָחֹת וַאֲתֹנֹת וּגְמַלִּים׃ |
|
| 17 | But the LORD struck Pharaoh and his household with grave diseases on account of Abram's wife Sarai. | | וַיְנַגַּע יְהוָה אֶת־פַּרְעֹה נְגָעִים גְּדֹלִים וְאֶת־בֵּיתֹו עַל־דְּבַר שָׂרַי אֵשֶׁת אַבְרָם׃ |
|
| 18 | Pharaoh summoned Abram and said to him, 'Why have you treated me like this? Why did you not tell me that she is your wife? | | וַיִּקְרָא פַרְעֹה לְאַבְרָם וַיֹּאמֶר מַה־זֹּאת עָשִׂיתָ לִּי לָמָּה לֹא־הִגַּדְתָּ לִּי כִּי אִשְׁתְּךָ הִוא׃ |
|
| 19 | Why did you say that she was your sister, so that I took her as a wife? Here she is: take her and be gone.' | | לָמָה אָמַרְתָּ אֲחֹתִי הִוא וָאֶקַּח אֹתָהּ לִי לְאִשָּׁה וְעַתָּה הִנֵּה אִשְׁתְּךָ קַח וָלֵךְ׃ |
|
| 20 | Then Pharaoh gave his men orders, and they sent Abram away with his wife and all that he had. | | וַיְצַו עָלָיו פַּרְעֹה אֲנָשִׁים וַיְשַׁלְּחוּ אֹתֹו וְאֶת־אִשְׁתֹּו וְאֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־לֹו׃ |
