Y el SEÑOR dijo a Abram:Vete de tu tierra,de entre tus parientesy de la casa de tu padre,a la tierra que yo te mostraré^a.

4 Entonces Abram se fue tal como el SEÑOR le había dicho; y Lot fue con él^a. Y Abram tenía setenta y cinco años cuando partió de Harán. 5 Y tomó Abram a Sarai su mujer, y a Lot su sobrino, y todas las posesiones^a que ellos habían acumulado, y las personas¹ que habían adquirido en Harán^b, y salieron para ir a la tierra de Canaán; y a la tierra de Canaán llegaron^c. 6 Y atravesó Abram el país hasta el lugar de Siquem, hasta la encina¹ de More^a. Y el cananeo estaba entonces en la tierra. 7 Y el SEÑOR se apareció a Abram^a, y le dijo: A tu descendencia¹ daré esta tierra^b. Entonces él edificó allí un altar al SEÑOR^c que se le había aparecido. 8 De allí se trasladó hacia el monte al oriente de Betel, y plantó su tienda, teniendo a Betel al occidente^a y Hai al oriente; y edificó allí un altar al SEÑOR, e invocó el nombre del SEÑOR^b. 9 Y Abram siguió su camino, continuando hacia el Neguev^1a.

10 Y hubo hambre en la tierra^a; y Abram descendió a Egipto para pasar allí un tiempo, porque el hambre era severa en la tierra^b. 11 Y sucedió que cuando se acercaba a¹ Egipto, dijo a Sarai su mujer: Mira, sé que eres una mujer de hermoso parecer^a; 12 y sucederá que cuando te vean los egipcios, dirán: «Esta es su mujer»; y me matarán^a, pero a ti te dejarán vivir. 13 Di, por favor, que eres mi hermana^a, para que me vaya bien por causa tuya, y para que yo¹ viva^b gracias a ti. 14 Y aconteció que cuando Abram entró en Egipto, los egipcios vieron que la mujer era muy hermosa. 15 Y la vieron los oficiales de Faraón, y la alabaron delante de él¹; y la mujer fue llevada^a a la casa de Faraón. 16 Yeste trató bien a Abram por causa de ella; y le dio¹ ovejas, vacas, asnos, siervos, siervas^a, asnas y camellos^b. 17 Pero el SEÑOR hirió a Faraón y a su casa con grandes plagas por causa de Sarai, mujer de Abram^a. 18 Entonces Faraón llamó a Abram, y le dijo: ¿Qué es esto que me has hecho^a? ¿Por qué no me avisaste que era tu mujer? 19 ¿Por qué dijiste: «Es mi hermana», de manera que la tomé por mujer? Ahora pues, aquí está¹ tu mujer, tómala y vete. 20 Y Faraón dio órdenes a sus hombres acerca de Abram¹; y ellos lo despidieron² con su mujer y con todo lo que le pertenecía.

Now ^athe LORD said to Abram,“Go from your country,And from your relativesAnd from your father’s house,To the land which I will show you;

4 So Abram went away as the LORD had spoken to him; and ^aLot went with him. Now Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. 5 Abram took his wife Sarai and his nephew Lot, and all their ^apossessions which they had accumulated, and ^bthe ¹people which they had acquired in Haran, and they ²set out for the land of Canaan; ^cso they came to the land of Canaan. 6 Abram passed through the land as far as the site of ^aShechem, to the ¹oak of Moreh. Now the Canaanites were in the land at that time. 7 And the LORD ^aappeared to Abram and said, “^bTo your ¹descendants I will give this land.” So he built ^can altar there to the LORD who had appeared to him. 8 Then he proceeded from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent with ^aBethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the LORD and ^bcalled upon the name of the LORD. 9 Then Abram journeyed on, continuing toward ^athe ¹Negev.

10 Now there was ^aa famine in the land; so Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a time, because the famine was ^bsevere in the land. 11 It came about, when he ¹was approaching Egypt, that he said to his wife Sarai, “See now, I know that you are a ^2abeautiful woman; 12 ^aand when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife’; and they will kill me, but they will let you live. 13 Please say that you are ^amy sister so that it may go well for me because of you, and that ^1bI may live on account of you.” 14 Now it came about, when Abram entered Egypt, that the Egyptians ¹saw that the woman was very beautiful. 15 Pharaoh’s officials saw her and praised her to Pharaoh; and ^athe woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house. 16 Therefore ^ahe treated Abram well for her sake; and ^1bhe gave him sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male servants and female servants, female donkeys, and camels.

17 But the LORD ^astruck Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife. 18 Then Pharaoh called Abram and said, “^aWhat 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, ¹here is your wife, take her and go!” 20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him; and they ¹escorted him away, with his wife and all that belonged to him.

Now ^athe LORD said to Abram,“¹Go forth from your country,And from your relativesAnd from your father’s house,To the land which I will show you;

4 So Abram went forth as the LORD had spoken to him; and ^aLot went with him. Now Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. 5 Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his nephew, and all their ^apossessions which they had accumulated, and ^bthe ¹persons which they had acquired in Haran, and they ²set out for the land of Canaan; ^cthus they came to the land of Canaan. 6 Abram passed through the land as far as the site of ^aShechem, to the ¹oak of Moreh. Now the Canaanite was then in the land. 7 The LORD ^aappeared to Abram and said, “^bTo your ¹descendants I will give this land.” So he built ^can altar there to the LORD who had appeared to him. 8 Then he proceeded from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, with ^aBethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the LORD and ^bcalled upon the name of the LORD. 9 Abram journeyed on, continuing toward ^athe ¹Negev.

10 Now there was ^aa famine in the land; so Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was ^bsevere in the land. 11 It came about when he ¹came near to Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, “See now, I know that you are a ^2abeautiful woman; 12 ^aand when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife’; and they will kill me, but they will let you live. 13 Please say that you are ^amy sister so that it may go well with me because of you, and that ^1bI may live on account of you.” 14 It came about when Abram came into Egypt, the Egyptians ¹saw that the woman was very beautiful. 15 Pharaoh’s officials saw her and praised her to Pharaoh; and ^athe woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house. 16 Therefore ^ahe treated Abram well for her sake; and ^1bgave him sheep and oxen and donkeys and male and female servants and female donkeys and camels.

17 But the LORD ^astruck Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife. 18 Then Pharaoh called Abram and said, “^aWhat is this 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 my wife? Now then, ¹here is your wife, take her and go.” 20 Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him; and they ¹escorted him away, with his wife and all that belonged to him.
