Genesis 12:10-13 ▼

10 There was famine in the land; so Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, since the famine in the land was severe.

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

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

13 Please say, therefore, that you are my sister, so that I may fare well on your account and my life may be spared for your sake.”
