CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now saying is Yahweh to Abram, "Go you from your land and from your kindred and from your father's house to the land which I shall show you. ² And make you will I into a great nation, and bless you will I and make your name great, and become must you a blessing. ³ And bless those will I who bless you, and those making light of you will I curse. And blessed in you and in your seed are all the families of the ground. ⁴ And going is Abram as Yahweh speaks to him. And going with him is Lot. And Abram was seventy-five years of age when he fares forth from Charan. ⁵ And taking is Abram Sarai, his wife, and Lot, his brother's son, and all their goods which they got, and every soul which they make their own in Charan, and forth are they faring to go toward the land of Canaan. And coming are they to the land of Canaan. ⁶ And passing is Abram into the land as far as the place of Shechem, as far as the high oak. And the Canaanite is then dwelling in the land. ⁷ And appearing is Yahweh to Abram and is saying to him, "To your seed am I giving this land.And building is Abram there an altar to Yahweh, Who appeared to him. ⁸ And shifting is he thence toward the mountain on the east of Beth-El, and there is stretching out his tent, with Beth-El on the seaward side, and Ai on the east, and building is he there an altar to Yahweh. And calling is he on the name of Yahweh. ⁹ And journeying goes Abram. And the journey is toward the south-rim. ¹⁰ And coming is a famine in the land. And down is Abram going to Egypt to sojourn there, for heavy is the famine in the land. ¹¹ And coming is it, as Abram nears to come to Egypt, that saying is Abram to Sarai, his wife, "Behold, pray! I know that a woman of lovely appearance are you, ¹² and when it comes that the Egyptians see you and say, `His wife is this,' then they will kill me, yet you they will keep alive. ¹³ Say, pray, that my sister are you, that it may be well with me for your sake, and live may my soul due to you. ¹⁴ And coming is it, as Abram comes to Egypt, that the Egyptians see the woman, that very lovely is she. ¹⁵ Seeing her also are the chiefs of Pharaoh, and they praise her to Pharaoh, and the woman is being taken to Pharaoh's house. ¹⁶ And to Abram is he good for her sake. And coming is he to have a flock and a very heavy herd of cattle and asses and menservants and maids and jenny-asses and camels. ¹⁷ And touching is Yahweh Elohim Pharaoh with contagions, great and evil, also his household, in the matter of Sarai, Abram's wife. ¹⁸ And calling is Pharaoh to Abram and is saying, "What is this you do to me? Why did you not tell me that she is your wife? ¹⁹ Why did you say, My sister is she? And I am taking her to me for a wife! And now, behold your wife before you. Take her and go. ²⁰ And instructing is Pharaoh the mortals concerning Abram. And sending him away are they, his wife and all that is his, and Lot with him.
