Young's Literal Translation
Then
the
LORD
said
to
Abram, “Leave
your
country
, your
kindred
, and your
father’s
household
, and go
to
the land I will
show
you
.
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
Abram, `Go
for
thyself
, from
thy
land
, and from
thy
kindred
, and from
the house
of
thy
father,
unto
the
land which
I shew
thee
.
I will
make you
into
a great nation, and I
will
bless you;
I
will
make your
name great ,
so
that
you
will
be a blessing.
And
I make thee
become
a great nation, and bless thee,
and
make thy
name great ;
and
be thou
a blessing.
I will
bless those who
bless
you
and curse
those
who curse you;
and all the
families of the earth
will
be
blessed
through
you
. ”
And
I bless those blessing
thee,
and him
who is
disesteeming
thee
I
curse ,
and blessed
in
thee
have
been
all families of the ground
. '
So
Abram departed
, as the
LORD
had
directed
him, and Lot went
with him .
Abram was
seventy-
five years old
when
he
left
Haran
.
And
Abram goeth
on
, as Jehovah
hath
spoken
unto
him, and Lot goeth
with him ,
and
Abram `is'
a
son
of
five and
seventy
years in
his
going
out
from
Charan
.
And Abram took
his wife Sarai
, his
nephew
Lot, and all the
possessions
and people
they had
acquired
in Haran,
and set
out for
the land of Canaan .
When
they came
to the land of Canaan ,
And Abram taketh
Sarai
his wife, and
Lot his
brother's
son
, and all their
substance
that
they
have
gained,
and the
persons
that
they have
obtained
in Charan;
and they
go
out to
go
towards
the land of Canaan ;
and
they come
in
to the land of Canaan .
Abram traveled
through
the land as
far
as
the site
of
the Oak of Moreh at
Shechem.
And at
that
time
the Canaanites
were
in the land.
And
Abram passeth
over
into
the land ,
unto
the place
Shechem,
unto
the oak of Moreh ;
and the Canaanite
`is'
then
in the land.
Then
the
LORD
appeared
to
Abram and said
, “
I will
give this land to
your
offspring.”
So
Abram
built
an altar there
to the
LORD
, who had
appeared to
him.
And
Jehovah
appeareth
unto
Abram ,
and saith
, `To
thy
seed
I give this land ;'
and
he
buildeth
there
an altar to Jehovah
, who hath
appeared unto
him.
From there
Abram
moved
on
to
the hill
country
east of Bethel
and pitched
his
tent ,
with
Bethel
to
the west and Ai
to
the east .
There
he built
an altar to the
LORD
, and he
called
on
the name of the
LORD
.
And
he
removeth
from thence
towards
a
mountain
at
the east of Beth-El,
and stretcheth
out
the
tent (Beth-El
at
the west ,
and Hai
at
the east ),
and
he buildeth
there
an altar to Jehovah
, and preacheth
in
the name of Jehovah
.
And Abram journeyed
on toward
the Negev
.
And Abram journeyeth,
going
on and
journeying
towards
the south
.
Now
there was
a famine in the land .
So
Abram went
down to
Egypt to live
there for a
while
because
the famine was
severe.
And
there is
a famine in the land ,
and
Abram goeth
down towards
Egypt to sojourn
there ,
for the famine `is'
grievous
in
the
land;
As he was
about
to enter Egypt, he said
to
his wife Sarai
, “Look
, I know
that you
are
a beautiful
woman ,
and
it
cometh
to
pass
as he hath
drawn
near
to enter Egypt, that
he saith
unto
Sarai
his wife, `Lo
, I pray
thee,
I
have
known
that thou
`art'
a woman of
beautiful
appearance;
and when
the Egyptians see you
, they will
say
, ‘
This is his wife .’
Then
they will
kill
me but
will
let
you
live.
and it
hath
come
to
pass
that
the Egyptians see thee
, and
they have
said
, `
This `
is '
his wife ,'
and
they have
slain
me ,
and
thee
they
keep
alive:
Please
say you
are
my sister, so that I
will
be
treated
well for
your
sake
, and on
account
of
you
my life
will
be
spared
. ”
say ,
I
pray
thee,
thou
`art'
my sister, so that it
is
well with
me
because
of
thee
, and my soul
hath
lived
for
thy
sake
. '
So
when
Abram entered
Egypt, the Egyptians saw
that
the woman was
very
beautiful.
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
at
the
entering
of
Abram into
Egypt, that
the Egyptians see
the woman that
she
`is'
exceeding
fair;
When
Pharaoh’s
officials
saw
Sarai
, they
commended
her to
him
, and she
was
taken
into
the palace
of
Pharaoh.
and
princes
of
Pharaoh
see
her
, and
praise
her unto
Pharaoh
, and the woman
is
taken
`to'
Pharaoh's
house;
He
treated
Abram well
on
her account
, and Abram
acquired
sheep and cattle
, male
and female
donkeys
, menservants
and maidservants
, and camels.
and
to
Abram he
hath
done
good
because
of
her, and he
hath
sheep and oxen
, and he-asses
, and men-servants
, and handmaids,
and
she-asses,
and
camels.
The
LORD,
however,
afflicted
Pharaoh and his household
with
severe
plagues because
of Abram’s
wife
Sarai.
And
Jehovah
plagueth
Pharaoh and his house
--
great
plagues --
for
the
matter
of Sarai ,
Abram's
wife
.
So
Pharaoh summoned
Abram and asked
, “
What have
you
done to me? Why didn’t
you
tell
me she was
your
wife?
And
Pharaoh calleth
for
Abram ,
and saith
, `
What `is'
this
thou
hast
done to me? why hast
thou
not
declared
to
me that
she `is'
thy
wife?
Why did
you
say
, ‘
She is my sister, ’
so
that
I took
her as
my
wife? Now then
, here
is
your
wife .
Take her
and go !”
Why hast
thou
said
, She `
is '
my sister, and
I take
her to
myself
for
a
wife? and
now, lo,
thy
wife ,
take and go .'
Then
Pharaoh gave
his
men orders
concerning Abram
, and they sent
him away with
his wife and
all his
possessions
.
And
Pharaoh chargeth
men concerning him
, and they send
him away ,
and
his wife ,
an
all that
he
hath
.
