A severe famine then forced Abraham to move to Egypt. Because Sarah was extremely attractive, Abraham was afraid the Egyptians would kill him and abduct his wife. So Abraham lied; he told the Egyptians that Sarah was his sister.
The ruler of Egypt (Pharaoh—a title, not a name) was captivated by Sarah’s beauty and attempted to take her as one of his wives. When the Lord inflicted terrible diseases on Pharaoh’s household, he became suspicious and accused Abraham of lying. When Abraham admitted that Sarah was his wife, Pharaoh ordered him to leave Egypt.
