- As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, "I know what a beautiful woman you are.
- When the Egyptians see you, they will say, 'This is his wife.' Then they will kill me but will let you live.
- Say you are my sister, so that I will be treated well for your sake and my life will be spared because of you."
- When Abram came to Egypt, the Egyptians saw that she was a very beautiful woman.
- And when Pharaoh's officials saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into his palace.

- And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:
- Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
- Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
- And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
- The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
