Genesis 12:18 in Context — Genesis 12

16 E fez bem a Abrão por causa dela; e teve ovelhas, e vacas, e asnos, e servos, e criadas, e asnas e camelos.

17 Mas o SENHOR feriu a Faraó e à sua casa com grandes pragas, por causa de Sarai mulher de Abrão.

18 Então Faraó chamou a Abrão e lhe disse: Que é isto que fizeste comigo? Por que não me declaraste que era tua mulher?

19 Por que disseste: “É minha irmã”, pondo-me em risco de tomá-la para mim por mulher? Agora, pois, eis aqui tua mulher, toma-a e vai-te.

20 Então Faraó deu ordem a seus homens acerca de Abrão; e lhe acompanharam, e à sua mulher com tudo o que tinha.
