Genesis 12:16-20
New American Standard Bible
16 Therefore (A)he treated Abram well for her sake; and [a](B)he gave him sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male servants and female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
17 But the Lord (C)struck Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife. 18 Then Pharaoh called Abram and said, “(D)What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife? 19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her for myself as a wife? Now then, [b]here is your wife, take her and go!” 20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him; and they [c]escorted him away, with his wife and all that belonged to him.
