10Es entstand aber eine Hungersnot im Land; da zog Abram nach Ägypten hinab, um dort als Fremder zu leben, denn die Hungersnot lag schwer auf dem Land. (1Mo 26,1; 1Mo 41,57; 1Mo 42,5; 1Mo 43,1; Rut 1,1)11Und es geschah, als er nahe daran war, nach Ägypten hineinzukommen, sagte er zu seiner Frau Sarai: Siehe doch, ich weiß[5], dass du eine Frau von schönem Aussehen bist; (1Mo 24,16; 1Mo 26,7; 1Mo 29,17; 1Sam 25,3; 2Sam 11,2; 1Kön 1,4)12und es wird geschehen, wenn die Ägypter dich sehen, werden sie sagen: Sie ist seine Frau. Dann werden sie mich erschlagen und dich leben lassen. (1Mo 20,11; Spr 29,25)13Sage doch, du seist meine Schwester, damit es mir gut geht um deinetwillen und meine Seele deinetwegen am Leben bleibt! (1Mo 20,2; 1Mo 26,7)14Und es geschah, als Abram nach Ägypten kam, da sahen die Ägypter, dass die Frau sehr schön war.15Und die Hofbeamten[6] des Pharao sahen sie und rühmten sie vor dem Pharao; und die Frau wurde in das Haus des Pharao geholt. (1Mo 20,2; 1Mo 26,7)16Und er tat Abram ihretwegen Gutes; und er bekam Schafe und Rinder und Esel, Knechte und Mägde, Eselinnen und Kamele. (1Mo 16,1; 1Mo 20,14)17Der HERR aber schlug den Pharao und sein Haus mit großen Plagen[7] um Sarais willen, der Frau Abrams. (1Mo 20,17; Ps 105,14)18Da ließ der Pharao Abram rufen und sagte: Was hast du mir da angetan! Warum hast du mir nicht mitgeteilt, dass sie deine Frau ist? (1Mo 3,13; 1Mo 20,9; 1Mo 26,10; 1Mo 29,25; Ri 2,2; 2Sam 3,24)19Warum hast du gesagt: Sie ist meine Schwester, sodass ich sie mir zur Frau nahm? Und nun siehe, da ist deine Frau, nimm sie und geh!20Und der Pharao entbot seinetwegen Männer, die geleiteten ihn und seine Frau und alles, was er hatte.
1.Mose 12
King James Version
1Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father' house, unto a land that I will shew thee:2And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:3And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.4So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.5And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother' son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.6And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.7And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.8And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.9And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.10And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.11And 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:12Therefore 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.13Say, 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.14And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.15The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh' house.16And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.17And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram' wife.18And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?19Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her , and go thy way.20And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
