EasyEnglish Bible

Abram and Sarai in Egypt

10 There was a famine in the land of Canaan. So Abram went to live in Egypt for some time, because the famine was very bad.[a]

11 When Abram came near to Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, ‘Listen to me. I know that you are a very beautiful woman. 12 When the Egyptians see you they will say, “This is Abram's wife.” Then they will kill me, but they will let you live.[b]
