God directs Abram to migrate to Canaan. There God appears to him and promises the land to his descendants. Abram is forced to go to Egypt in order to evade a famine. Abram asks his wife Sarai to pretend she is his sister. The Egyptians recognise Sarai's beauty, and Sarai becomes part of Pharaoh's house, but the Lord sends a plague to punish Pharaoh for (unknowingly) causing adultery. Pharaoh sends Sarai and Abram away from Egypt.
