Genesis 12:10-13 ▼

10 Now there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to reside there as an alien, for the famine was severe in the land.

11 When he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “I know well that you are a woman beautiful in appearance;

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

13 Say you are my sister, so that it may go well with me because of you, and that my life may be spared on your account.”
