Gen 12:1-20 KJV –
\n1 Now the LORD had* said<\/span>** unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
\n(Hysterologia* 705<\/a>; Anthropopatheia** 888<\/a> throughout chapter )
\n2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
\n3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee* shall all families of the earth be blessed.
\n(Metonymy* 544<\/a> )
\n4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram [was<\/em>] seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
\n5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and<\/span> Lot his brother’s son, and<\/span> all their substance that they had gathered, and<\/span> 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.
\n(Polysyndeton<\/span>; Metonymy* 556<\/a>; Synecdoche** 640<\/a> )
\n6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite [was<\/em>] then in the land.
\n7 And 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.
\n8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, [having<\/em>] 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.
\n9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south*.
\n(Synecdoche* 639<\/a> )
\n10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine [was<\/em>] grievous in the land.
\n11 And 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<\/em>] a fair woman to look upon:
\n12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This [is<\/em>] his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
\n13 Say, I pray thee, thou [art<\/em>] my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
\n14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she [was<\/em>] very fair.
\n15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken* into Pharaoh’s house.
\n(Ellipsis* 62<\/a> )
\n16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and<\/span> oxen, and<\/span> he asses, <\/span>and<\/span> menservants, and<\/span> maidservants, and<\/span> she asses, and<\/span> camels.
\n(Polysyndeton<\/span>; Antimetabole 303<\/a> )
\n17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram’s wife.
\n18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What* [is<\/em>] this [that<\/em>] thou hast done unto me? why* didst thou not tell me that she [was<\/em>] thy wife?
\n(Erotesis* 953<\/a> )
\n19 Why* saidst thou, She [is<\/em>] my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take [her<\/em>], and go thy way.
\n(Erotesis* 953<\/a> )
\n20 And Pharaoh commanded [his<\/em>] men concerning him: and they sent him away, and<\/span> his wife, and<\/span> all that he had.
