Abram i Egypten
10 Men det blev svält[a] i landet, och Abram flyttade ner till Egypten för att bo där som främling, eftersom svälten var svår i landet. 11 När han närmade sig Egypten, sade han till sin hustru Saraj: ”Jag vet ju att du är en vacker kvinna. 12 När egyptierna får se dig kommer de att säga: Hon är hans hustru! Och så dödar de mig men låter dig leva. 13 (A) Säg därför att du är min syster, så går det bra för mig för din skull och jag får leva tack vare dig.”
14 När Abram kom till Egypten, såg egyptierna att Saraj var en mycket vacker kvinna. 15 Faraos hövdingar fick se henne och prisade henne inför farao, och hon fördes in i faraos palats. 16 Och det gick bra för Abram för hennes skull. Han fick får, kor och åsnor, tjänare och tjänarinnor, åsneston och kameler.
17 (B) Men Herren lät farao och hans hus drabbas av svåra plågor för Abrams hustru Sarajs skull. 18 Då kallade farao till sig Abram och sade: ”Vad har du gjort mot mig! Varför berättade du inte för mig att hon är din hustru? 19 Varför sade du: Hon är min syster, så att jag tog henne till hustru? Här har du din hustru. Ta henne och gå!” 20 Och farao befallde sina män att skicka i väg Abram med hans hustru och allt han ägde.

- 12:10 svält Israels växtlighet är beroende av regn från Medelhavet (5 Mos 11:11f) och därför sårbar. Arkeologiska fynd tyder på att patriarktiden (århundradena kring 2000 f Kr) var ovanligt torr (jfr 26:1, 42:5).

Abram in Egypt(A)
10 Now there was a famine in the land,(B) and Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe.(C) 11 As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai,(D) “I know what a beautiful woman(E) you are. 12 When the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me but will let you live. 13 Say you are my sister,(F) so that I will be treated well for your sake and my life will be spared because of you.”
14 When Abram came to Egypt, the Egyptians saw that Sarai was a very beautiful woman.(G) 15 And when Pharaoh’s officials saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into his palace. 16 He treated Abram well for her sake, and Abram acquired sheep and cattle, male and female donkeys, male and female servants, and camels.(H)
17 But the Lord inflicted(I) serious diseases on Pharaoh and his household(J) because of Abram’s wife Sarai. 18 So Pharaoh summoned Abram. “What have you done to me?”(K) he said. “Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife?(L) 19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’(M) so that I took her to be my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!” 20 Then Pharaoh gave orders about Abram to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and everything he had.

Genesis 12:10-20
King James Version
10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:
12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.
17 And the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
18 And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
19 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
