Génesis 12:16 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 12:16

And he entreated Abram well for her sake
Pharaoh was very complaisant to him, showed him great respect, and bestowed many favours on him on account of Sarai, whom he took to be his sister, and which were done, that he would consent that she might be his wife:

and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and
maidservants, and she asses, and camels;
which were, some at least, if not all, the gifts of Pharaoh to him, or otherwise there seems to be no reason why they should be made mention of here. The Jews say F7, that Pharaoh, because of the love he had to Sarai, gave to her by writing all his substance, whether silver or gold, or servants or farms, and also the land of Goshen for an inheritance; and therefore the children of Israel dwelt in the land of Goshen, because it was Sarai our mother's, say they.

Génesis 12:16 In-Context

14 Efectivamente, cuando Abram llegó a Egipto, todos notaron la belleza de Sarai.
15 Cuando los funcionarios del palacio la vieron, hablaron maravillas de ella al faraón, su rey, y llevaron a Sarai al palacio.
16 Entonces el faraón le dio a Abram muchos regalos a causa de ella: ovejas, cabras, ganado, asnos y asnas, siervos y siervas, y camellos.
17 Pero el Señor
envió plagas terribles sobre el faraón y sobre todos los de su casa debido a Sarai, la esposa de Abram.
18 Así que el faraón mandó llamar a Abram y lo reprendió severamente: «¿Qué me has hecho? —preguntó—. ¿Por qué no me dijiste que era tu esposa?
