11. When he was getting near to Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “I know you are a beautiful woman.
12. Therefore, when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ They will then kill me, but they will let you live.
13. Say you are my sister so that I may be treated well for your sake. Then my life will be spared because of you.”
