DARBY'S TRANSLATION
Genesis
Chapter 12
12:1 And Jehovah had said to Abram, Go out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and from thy father`s house, to the land that I will shew thee.
12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.
12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
12:4 And Abram departed as Jehovah had said to him. And Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran.
12:5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother`s son, and all their possessions that they had acquired, and the souls that they had obtained in Haran, and they went out to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
12:6 And Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
12:7 And Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land. And there he built an altar to Jehovah who had appeared to him.
12:8 And he removed thence towards the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, [having] Bethel toward the west, and Ai toward the east; and there he built an altar to Jehovah, and called on the name of Jehovah.
12:9 And Abram moved onward, going on still toward the south.
12:10 And there was a famine in the land. And Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was grievous in the land.
12:11 And it came to pass when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a woman fair to look upon.
12:12 And it will come to pass when the Egyptians see thee, that they will say, She is his wife; and they will slay me, and save thee alive.
12:13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister, that it may be well with me on thy account, and my soul may live because of thee.
12:14 And it came to pass when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
12:15 And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh`s house.
12:16 And he treated Abram well on her account; and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, and bondmen, and bondwomen, and she-asses, and camels.
12:17 And Jehovah plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram`s wife.
12:18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this thou hast done to me? Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
12:19 Why didst thou say, She is my sister, so that I took her as my wife. And now, behold, there is thy wife: take [her], and go away.
12:20 And Pharaoh commanded [his] men concerning him, and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
