And when they were come into the land of Chanaan, Abram
went forth into the land till he came unto a place called Sichem,
and unto the oak of More. And the Cananites dwelled then in the
land. Then the LORD appeared unto Abram and said: unto thy seed
will I give this land. And he builded an altar there unto the LORD
which appeared to him. Then departed he thence unto a mountain
that lieth on the east side of BETHEL and pitched his tent: BETHEL
being on the west side, and Ay on the east: and he builded there
an altar unto the LORD, and called on the name of the LORD. And
then Abram departed and took his journey southward. After this
there came a dearth in the land. And Abram went down into Egypt to
sojourn there, for the dearth was sore in the land. And when he
was come nye for to enter into Egypt, he said unto Sarai his wife.
Behold, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon. It will
come to pass therefore when the Egyptians see thee, that they will
say: she is his wife. And so shall they slay me and save thee. Say
I pray thee therefore that thou art my sister, that I may fare the
better by reason of thee, and that my soul may live for thy sake.
As soon as he came into Egypt, the Egyptians saw the woman that
she was very fair.
