Genesis 12:14-20

Genesis 12:14-20 NCV

When Abram came to Egypt, the Egyptians saw that Sarai was very beautiful. The Egyptian officers saw her and told the king of Egypt how beautiful she was. They took her to the king’s palace, and the king was kind to Abram because he thought Abram was her brother. He gave Abram sheep, cattle, male and female donkeys, male and female servants, and camels. But the LORD sent terrible diseases on the king and all the people in his house because of Abram’s wife Sarai. So the king sent for Abram and said, “What have you done to me? Why didn’t you tell me Sarai was your wife? Why did you say, ‘She is my sister’ so that I made her my wife? Now, here is your wife. Take her and leave!” Then the king commanded his men to make Abram leave Egypt; so Abram and his wife left with everything they owned.
