Genesis 12:10-12

1599 Geneva Bible

¹⁰ ¶ Then there came a ^[a]famine in the land: therefore Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there: for there was a great famine in the land.

¹¹ And when he drew near to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:

¹² Therefore it will come to pass that when the Egyptians see thee, they will say, She is his wife: so will they kill me, but they will keep thee alive.
