Genesis 12:14-20

When Abram entered Egypt, everyone noticed Sarai’s stunning beauty. When Pharaoh’s dignitaries spotted her, they went to Pharaoh and raved about her beauty. Then they took Sarai into the palace and made her part of Pharaoh’s harem. Because she pleased Pharaoh, Abram got along very well in Egypt and received royal treatment: he was given sheep, cattle, male and female donkeys, camels, and male and female slaves. But YAHWEH struck Pharaoh and his household with terrible diseases because he had taken Abram’s wife, Sarai. So Pharaoh sent for Abram and said, “How could you do this to me? Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife? And why did you lie to me by saying, ‘She’s my sister,’ so that I took her as my wife? Now, here’s your wife back; take her and begone!” Then Pharaoh gave strict orders to his men to escort them out of Egypt along with everything they had.
