South into Egypt

Abram and his party continued south with their travels. Famine had stricken the land and they ventured into Egypt.

Abram was afraid that the Egyptians would kill him if they knew that Sarai was his wife, so he had her to pose as his sister.

The Eqyptians liked the fair look of Sarai and took her to the Pharaoh's house. Abram was treated well because of Sarai.

The Lord sent great plagues upon the Pharaoh and his house. The Pharaoh asked Abram what he had done to him and why he did not say that Sarai was his wife.

Abram and Sarai were sent on their way.

For your reference, turn to Genesis 12.
