Genesis 12:10-13 ▼

10 Now there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe.

11 As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “Look, I know that you are a beautiful woman,

12 and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me but will let you live.

13 Please say you are my sister, so that I will be treated well for your sake, and on account of you my life will be spared.”
