Genesis 12

[주바라기 분이]

12 The LORD ahd said to Abram, "Go from your country, your people

and your father's housedhold go to the land I will show you.

2 I will make you into a great nation, and i will blessy you;

   I will make your name great, andyou will be a blessing.

3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you

   I will  curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.

4 So Abram went, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him.

   Abram was seventyfive years old when he set out from Harran.

5 He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had

   accumulated and the people they had acquired in Harran, and they

   set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there.

6 Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the great tree of

   Moreh at Shechem. At that time the Canaanites were in the land.

7 The LORD appeared to Abram and said, "To your offspring I will give this

    land. "So he built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him.

8 From there he went on toward the hills east of Bethel and pitched his

   tent, with Bethel on the wast and Ai on the east. There he built an altar

    to the LORD and called on the name of the LORD.

9 Then Abram set out and continued to ward th Negev.

10 Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to

    live there for a while because the famine was severe.

11 As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, " I know what

     a beautiful woman you are.

12 When the Egyptians see you, they will say, This is his wife. Then they

     will kill me but will let you live.

13 Say you are my sister, so that I will be treated well for your sake and

     my life will be apred becuse of you."

14 When abram came to egypt, the Egyptians saw that Sarai was a very

    beautiful woman.

15 And when Pharaoh's officials saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh, and

     she was taken into his palace.

16 He treated Abram well for her sake, and Abream acquired sheep and

    cattle, male and female donkeys, male and female servants, and

     camels.

17 But the LORD inflicted serious diseases on pharaoh and his household

      because of Abram's wife Sarai.

18  So Pharaoh summoned Abram. What have you done to me?" he said

     Why diden't you tell me she was your wife?

19 Why did you say, She is my sister; so that I took her to be my wife?

    Now then, here is your, wife. Take her and go!"

20 Then Pharaoh gave orders about Abram  to his men, and they

    sent him on his way with his wife and everything he had.   amen
