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 Cuando Abram llegó a Egipto, los egipcios vieron que Saray era muy hermosa.
15 También los funcionarios del faraón la vieron, y fueron a contarle al faraón lo hermosa que era. Entonces la llevaron al palacio real.
16 Gracias a ella trataron muy bien a Abram. Le dieron ovejas, vacas, esclavos y esclavas, asnos y asnas, y camellos.
17 Pero por causa de Saray, la esposa de Abram, el SEÑOR castigó al faraón y a su familia con grandes plagas.
18 Entonces el faraón llamó a Abram y le dijo: «¿Qué me has hecho? ¿Por qué no me dijiste que era tu esposa?
