1599 Geneva Bible
17 But the Lord [a]plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues, because of Sarai Abram’s wife.
18 Then Pharaoh called Abram, and said, Why hast thou done this unto me? Wherefore diddest thou not tell me, that she was thy wife?
19 Why saidest thou, She is my sister, that I should take her to be my wife? Now therefore behold thy wife, take her and go thy way.
