Genesis 12:17 in Context — Genesis 12
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.
17 Mais l’Éternel frappa de grandes plaies Pharaon et sa maison, au sujet de Saraï, femme d’Abram.
18 Alors Pharaon appela Abram, et dit: Qu’est-ce que tu m’as fait? Pourquoi ne m’as-tu pas déclaré que c’est ta femme?
19 Pourquoi as-tu dit: C’est ma sœur? Aussi l’ai-je prise pour ma femme. Maintenant, voici ta femme, prends-la, et va-t’en!
