  9. Was Abram’s concern justified? Genesis 12:14 So it was, when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians saw the woman, that she was very beautiful. 15The princes of Pharaoh also saw her and commended her to Pharaoh.

  10. What does verse 17 reveal about God? Genesis 12:17 But the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife. 2I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. 3I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

  11. How did Pharaoh respond to the plagues? Genesis 12:18 And Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife? 19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister’? I might have taken her as my wife. Now therefore, here is your wife; take her and go your way.”

  12. What did Pharaoh do to Abram? Genesis 12:20 So Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him; and they sent him away, with his wife and all that he had.

At Shechem: (Gen. 12:7) Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” At Bethel: (Gen. 13:16) And I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered.

  33. Where did Abram live? Genesis 13:17–18 “Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.” 18Then Abram moved his tent, and went and dwelt by the terebinth trees of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to the LORD.
