13 Dis, je te prie, que tu es ma sœur, afin que je sois bien traité à cause de toi, et que mon âme vive grâce à toi.

14 Lorsque Abram fut arrivé en Égypte, les Égyptiens virent que la femme était fort belle.

15 Les grands de Pharaon la virent aussi et la vantèrent à Pharaon; et la femme fut emmenée dans la maison de Pharaon.

16 Il traita bien Abram à cause d’elle; et Abram reçut des brebis, des bœufs, des ânes, des serviteurs et des servantes, des ânesses, et des chameaux.
