6Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. The Canaanite was then in the land.
7Yahweh appeared to Abram, and said, "To your descendants I will give this land." He built an altar there to Yahweh, who appeared to him.
8He left from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to Yahweh, and called on the name of Yahweh.
9Abram journeyed, going on still toward the South.
10There was a famine in the land. Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was sore in the land.
11It happened, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, "See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look on.
12It will happen, when the Egyptians will see you, that they will say, `This is his wife.` They will kill me, but they will save you alive.
