14 Y aconteci贸 que, cuando entr贸 Abram en Egipto, los egipcios vieron la mujer que era hermosa en gran manera.
15 Tambi茅n la vieron los pr铆ncipes del Fara贸n, y se la alabaron al Fara贸n; y fue llevada la mujer a casa del Fara贸n,
16 que hizo bien a Abram por causa de ella; y tuvo ovejas, y vacas, y asnos, y siervos, y criadas, y asnas y camellos.
17 Mas el SE脩OR hiri贸 al Fara贸n y a su casa de grandes plagas, por causa de Sarai, mujer de Abram.
18 Entonces el Fara贸n llam贸 a Abram y le dijo: 驴Qu茅 es esto que has hecho conmigo? 驴Por qu茅 no me declaraste que era tu mujer?
19 驴Por qu茅 dijiste: Es mi hermana? 隆Y yo la tom茅 para m铆 por mujer! Ahora, pues, he aqu铆 tu mujer, t贸mala y vete.
20 Entonces el Fara贸n mand贸 acerca de 茅l a varones, que le acompa帽aran, y a su mujer, con todo lo que ten铆a.

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 12

In this chapter an account is given of the call of Abram to depart from his own country, with a promise of a divine blessing, Ge 12:1-3 of his obedience to it, Ge 12:4,5 of his journey through the land of Canaan, and of the Lord's appearance to him in it, and his promise of it to his seed, and of Abram's building altars in it, and calling on the name of the Lord, Ge 12:6-9 and of a famine there, which occasioned him to go into Egypt, Ge 12:10 where, through fear of being slain, he desired his wife to call herself his sister, Ge 12:11-13 and she being greatly admired by the Egyptians for her beauty, it went well with Abram for her sake, Ge 12:14-16 but the Egyptians were plagued because of her, who, when they understood she was Abram's wife, sent them both away, and all that belonged to them, Ge 12:17-20.
