Genesis 12:9 in Context — Genesis 12

7 L’Éternel apparut à Abram, et dit: Je donnerai ce pays à ta postérité. Et Abram bâtit là un autel à l’Éternel, qui lui était apparu.

8 Il se transporta de là vers la montagne, à l’orient de Béthel, et il dressa ses tentes, ayant Béthel à l’occident et Aï à l’orient. Il bâtit encore là un autel à l’Éternel, et il invoqua le nom de l’Éternel.

9 Abram continua ses marches, en s’avançant vers le midi.

10 Il y eut une famine dans le pays; et Abram descendit en Égypte pour y séjourner, car la famine était grande dans le pays.

11 Comme il était près d’entrer en Égypte, il dit à Saraï, sa femme: Voici, je sais que tu es une femme belle de figure.
