When they arrived in Canaan, 6 Abramtraveled through the land until he came to the sacred tree of Moreh, the holy place at Shechem. (At that time the Canaanites were still living in the land.) 7 Ac 7.5;Ga 3.16The Lordappeared to Abramand said to him, "This is the country that I am going to give to your descendants." Then Abrambuilt an altar there to the Lord, who had appeared to him. 8 After that, he moved on south to the hill country east of the city of Betheland set up his camp between Bethelon the west and Aion the east. There also he built an altar and worshiped the Lord. 9 Then he moved on from place to place, going toward the southern part of Canaan.
Abram in Egypt
10 But there was a famine in Canaan, and it was so bad that Abramwent farther south to Egypt, to live there for a while. 11 When he was about to cross the border into Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, "You are a beautiful woman. 12 When the Egyptians see you, they will assume that you are my wife, and so they will kill me and let you live. 13 Gn 20.2;26.7Tell them that you are my sister; then because of you they will let me live and treat me well." 14 When he crossed the border into Egypt, the Egyptiansdid see that his wife was beautiful. 15 Some of the court officials saw her and told the king how beautiful she was; so she was taken to his palace. 16 Because of her the king treated Abramwell and gave him flocks of sheep and goats, cattle, donkeys, slaves, and camels.
17 But because the king had taken Sarai, the Lordsent terrible diseases on him and on the people of his palace. 18 Then the king sent for Abramand asked him, "What have you done to me? Why didn’t you tell me that she was your wife? 19 Why did you say that she was your sister, and let me take her as my wife? Here is your wife; take her and get out!" 20 The king gave orders to his men, so they took Abram and put him out of the country, together with his wife and everything he owned.
