|
|
2. And I make thee become a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing.
|
2. And I will make H6213 of thee a great H1419 nation H1471 , and I will bless H1288 thee , and make thy name great H1431 H8034 ; and thou shalt be H1961 a blessing H1293 :

|
|
12. and it hath come to pass that the Egyptians see thee, and they have said, `This is his wife,` and they have slain me, and thee they keep alive:
|
12. Therefore it shall come to pass H1961 , when H3588 the Egyptians H4713 shall see H7200 thee , that they shall say H559 , This H2063 is his wife H802 : and they will kill H2026 me , but they will save thee alive H2421 .

15. and princes of Pharaoh see her, and praise her unto Pharaoh, and the woman is taken to Pharaoh`s house;
|
15. The princes H8269 also of Pharaoh H6547 saw H7200 her , and commended H1984 her before H413 Pharaoh H6547 : and the woman H802 was taken H3947 into Pharaoh H6547 's house H1004 .

|
18. And Pharaoh H6547 called H7121 Abram H87 , and said H559 , What H4100 is this H2063 that thou hast done H6213 unto me? why H4100 didst thou not H3808 tell H5046 me that H3588 she H1931 was thy wife H802 ?
|
|
19. Why hast thou said, She is my sister, and I take her to myself for a wife? and now, lo, thy wife, take and go.`
|
19. Why H4100 saidst H559 thou, She H1931 is my sister H269 ? so I might have taken H3947 her to me to wife H802 : now therefore H6258 behold H2009 thy wife H802 , take H3947 her , and go thy way H1980 .
