1 Meanwhile, the Lord said to Abram, Leave thy country behind thee, thy kinsfolk, and thy father’s home, and come away into a land I will shew thee. 2 Then I will make a great people of thee; I will bless thee, and make thy name renowned, a name of benediction; 3 those who bless thee, I will bless, those who curse thee, I will curse, and in thee all the races of the world shall find a blessing.[1] 4 So Abram went out, as the Lord bade him, and with him went his nephew, Lot. Abram was seventy-five years old[2] at the time when he left Haran, 5 took his wife Sarai and his nephew Lot with him, all the possessions they had acquired in Haran, and all the retainers born in their service there, and set out for the land of Chanaan. When they reached it, 6 Abram went across country as far as Sichem and the Valley of Clear Seeing.[3] Those were the days when the Chanaanites still dwelt in the land. 7 Here the Lord appeared to Abram, promising to give the whole land to his posterity; and this appearance he commemorated by building the Lord an altar there. 8 Then he moved on from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, where he pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Hai on the east; here too he built an altar to the Lord, and invoked his name before it.

1 Dixit autem Dominus ad Abram: Egredere de terra tua, et de cognatione tua, et de domo patris tui, et veni in terram quam monstrabo tibi. 2 Faciamque te in gentem magnam, et benedicam tibi, et magnificabo nomen tuum, erisque benedictus. 3 Benedicam benedicentibus tibi, et maledicam maledicentibus tibi, atque in te benedicentur universæ cognationes terræ. 4 Egressus est itaque Abram sicut præceperat ei Dominus, et ivit cum eo Lot: septuaginta quinque annorum erat Abram cum egrederetur de Haran. 5 Tulitque Sarai uxorem suam, et Lot filium fratris sui, universamque substantiam quam possederant, et animas quas fecerant in Haran: et egressi sunt ut irent in terram Chanaan. Cumque venissent in eam, 6 pertransivit Abram terram usque ad locum Sichem, usque ad convallem illustrem: Chananæus autem tunc erat in terra. 7 Apparuit autem Dominus Abram, et dixit ei: Semini tuo dabo terram hanc. Qui ædificavit ibi altare Domino, qui apparuerat ei. 8 Et inde transgrediens ad montem, qui erat contra orientem Bethel, tetendit ibi tabernaculum suum, ab occidente habens Bethel, et ab oriente Hai: ædificavit quoque ibi altare Domino, et invocavit nomen ejus.

9 Thus Abram journeyed on, travelling always further south. 10 And now the country was stricken with famine; and Abram made his way into Egypt, to take refuge there, so grievous was the famine all over the country. 11 And when he had nearly reached Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, I have it in mind that thou art a woman fair to see; 12 and it may be that when the Egyptians catch sight of thee, they will say to themselves, She is a wedded woman, this is her husband; and they will kill me, and keep thee for themselves. 13 Tell them, I entreat thee, that thou art my sister; so, for thy sake, I shall be well used, and I shall owe my life to thee. 14 And sure enough, as soon as Abram set foot in Egypt, the Egyptians remarked the great beauty of his wife, 15 and Pharao was told of her by his courtiers, who sang her praises to him. So Sarai was carried off to Pharao’s court, 16 and Abram, for her sake, was well treated; he had no lack of sheep, oxen, and asses, of men and maid servants, of she-asses, too, and camels. 17 But the Lord smote Pharao and his court with great calamities, because of Abram’s wife Sarai, 18 till at last he sent for Abram, and asked him, What is this trick thou hast played on me? Why didst thou not own to me that she was thy wife? 19 How is it that thou didst call her thy sister, and let me wed her? Enough; here is thy wife, take her and begone. 20 And Pharao gave Abram an escort to see him on his way, with his wife and all his possessions.

9 Perrexitque Abram vadens, et ultra progrediens ad meridiem. 10 Facta est autem fames in terra: descenditque Abram in Ægyptum, ut peregrinaretur ibi: prævaluerat enim fames in terra. 11 Cumque prope esset ut ingrederetur Ægyptum, dixit Sarai uxori suæ: Novi quod pulchra sis mulier: 12 et quod cum viderint te Ægyptii, dicturi sunt: Uxor ipsius est: et interficient me, et te reservabunt. 13 Dic ergo, obsecro te, quod soror mea sis: ut bene sit mihi propter te, et vivat anima mea ob gratiam tui. 14 Cum itaque ingressus esset Abram Ægyptum, viderunt Ægyptii mulierem quod esset pulchra nimis. 15 Et nuntiaverunt principes Pharaoni, et laudaverunt eam apud illum: et sublata est mulier in domum Pharaonis. 16 Abram vero bene usi sunt propter illam: fueruntque ei oves et boves et asini, et servi et famulæ, et asinæ et cameli. 17 Flagellavit autem Dominus Pharaonem plagis maximis, et domum ejus, propter Sarai uxorem Abram. 18 Vocavitque Pharao Abram, et dixit ei: Quidnam est hoc quod fecisti mihi? quare non indicasti quod uxor tua esset? 19 quam ob causam dixisti esse sororem tuam, ut tollerem eam mihi in uxorem? Nunc igitur ecce conjux tua, accipe eam, et vade. 20 Præcepitque Pharao super Abram viris: et deduxerunt eum, et uxorem illius, et omnia quæ habebat.

[1] ‘Shall find a blessing’; some commentators would interpret this, ‘shall bless themselves in thy name’, that is, use it as a proverbial instance of prosperity.

[2] It seems that Thare was still alive at the time of Abram’s migration (cf. 11.26, 32). St Jerome, assuming that Thare was dead, would date Abram’s age of seventy-five not from his birth, but from the time of his leaving Ur.

[3] ‘The Valley of Clear Seeing’; in the Hebrew text, ‘The oak of Moré’ (a proper name). The Latin version evidently follows a different tradition, which would connect the name of the place with the Hebrew word for ‘appearance’ (cf. the verse following).
