12:1

God said to Abram, 'Go away from your land, from your birthplace, and from your father's house, to the land that I will show you. 
Vayomer Adonay el-Avram lech lecha me'artsecha umimoladetecha umibeyt avicha el-ha'arets asher ar'eka.

אוַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהֹוָה֙ אֶל־אַבְרָ֔ם לֶךְ־לְךָ֛ מֵֽאַרְצְךָ֥ וּמִמּֽוֹלַדְתְּךָ֖ וּמִבֵּ֣ית אָבִ֑יךָ אֶל־הָאָ֖רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר אַרְאֶֽךָּ:

12:2

I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you great. You shall become a blessing. 
Ve'e'escha legoy-gadol va'avarechecha va'agadelah shemecha veheyeh berachah.

בוְאֶֽעֶשְׂךָ֙ לְג֣וֹי גָּד֔וֹל וַֽאֲבָ֣רֶכְךָ֔ וַֽאֲגַדְּלָ֖ה שְׁמֶ֑ךָ וֶֽהְיֵ֖ה בְּרָכָֽה:

12:3

I will bless those who bless you, and he who curses you, I will curse. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.' 
Va'avarechah mevarachecha umekalelecha a'or venivrechu vecha kol mishpechot ha'adamah.

גוַֽאֲבָֽרְכָה֙ מְבָ֣רֲכֶ֔יךָ וּמְקַלֶּלְךָ֖ אָאֹ֑ר וְנִבְרְכ֣וּ בְךָ֔ כֹּ֖ל מִשְׁפְּחֹ֥ת הָֽאֲדָמָֽה:

12:4

Abram went as God had directed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was 75 years old when he left Charan. 
Vayelech Avram ka'asher diber elav Adonay vayelech ito Lot ve'Avram ben chamesh shanim veshiv'im shanah betseto meCharan.

דוַיֵּ֣לֶךְ אַבְרָ֗ם כַּֽאֲשֶׁ֨ר דִּבֶּ֤ר אֵלָיו֙ יְהֹוָ֔ה וַיֵּ֥לֶךְ אִתּ֖וֹ ל֑וֹט וְאַבְרָ֗ם בֶּן־חָמֵ֤שׁ שָׁנִים֙ וְשִׁבְעִ֣ים שָׁנָ֔ה בְּצֵאת֖וֹ מֵֽחָרָֽן:

12:5

Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, and all their belongings, as well as the people they had gathered, and they left, heading toward Canaan. When they came to Canaan, 
Vayikach Avram et-Saray ishto ve'et-Lot ben-achiv ve'et-kol-rechusham asher rachashu ve'et-hanefesh asher-asu veCharan vayetse'u lalechet artsah Kna'an vayavo'u artsah Kna'an.

הוַיִּקַּ֣ח אַבְרָם֩ אֶת־שָׂרַ֨י אִשְׁתּ֜וֹ וְאֶת־ל֣וֹט בֶּן־אָחִ֗יו וְאֶת־כָּל־רְכוּשָׁם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר רָכָ֔שׁוּ וְאֶת־הַנֶּ֖פֶשׁ אֲשֶׁר־עָשׂ֣וּ בְחָ֑רָן וַיֵּֽצְא֗וּ לָלֶ֨כֶת֙ אַ֣רְצָה כְּנַ֔עַן וַיָּבֹ֖אוּ אַ֥רְצָה כְּנָֽעַן:

12:6

Abram traveled through the land as far as the area of Shechem, coming to the Plain of Moreh. The Canaanites were then in the land. 
Vaya'avor Avram ba'arets ad mekom Shchem ad elon Moreh vehaKna'ani az ba'arets.

ווַיַּֽעֲבֹ֤ר אַבְרָם֙ בָּאָ֔רֶץ עַ֚ד מְק֣וֹם שְׁכֶ֔ם עַ֖ד אֵל֣וֹן מוֹרֶ֑ה וְהַכְּנַֽעֲנִ֖י אָ֥ז בָּאָֽרֶץ:

12:7

God appeared to Abram and said, 'I will give this land to your off-spring.' [Abram] built an altar there to God who had appeared to him. 
Vayera Adonay el-Avram vayomer lezar'acha eten et-ha'arets hazot vayiven sham mizbe'ach l'Adonay hanir'eh elav.

זוַיֵּרָ֤א יְהֹוָה֙ אֶל־אַבְרָ֔ם וַיֹּ֕אמֶר לְזַ֨רְעֲךָ֔ אֶתֵּ֖ן אֶת־הָאָ֣רֶץ הַזֹּ֑את וַיִּ֤בֶן שָׁם֙ מִזְבֵּ֔חַ לַֽיהֹוָ֖ה הַנִּרְאֶ֥ה אֵלָֽיו:

12:8

From there, [Abram] moved on to the mountains east of Bethel. He set up his tent with Bethel to the West and Aito the east. He built an altar there and called in God's name. 
Vayatek misham haharah mikedem leVeyt-El vayet aholoh Beyt-El miyam veha'Ay mikedem vayiven-sham mizbe'ach l'Adonay vayikra beshem Adonay.

חוַיַּעְתֵּ֨ק מִשָּׁ֜ם הָהָ֗רָה מִקֶּ֛דֶם לְבֵֽית־אֵ֖ל וַיֵּ֣ט אָֽהֳלֹ֑ה בֵּֽית־אֵ֤ל מִיָּם֙ וְהָעַ֣י מִקֶּ֔דֶם וַיִּֽבֶן־שָׁ֤ם מִזְבֵּ֨חַ֙ לַֽיהֹוָ֔ה וַיִּקְרָ֖א בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְהֹוָֽה:

12:9

Abram then continued on his way, moving steadily toward the south. 
Vayisa Avram haloch venasoa hanegbah.

טוַיִּסַּ֣ע אַבְרָ֔ם הָל֥וֹךְ וְנָס֖וֹעַ הַנֶּֽגְבָּה:

12:10

There was a famine in the land. Abram headed south to Egypt to stay there for a while, since the famine had grown very severe in the land. 
Vayehi ra'av ba'arets vayered Avram Mitsraymah lagur sham ki-chaved hara'av ba'arets.

יוַיְהִ֥י רָעָ֖ב בָּאָ֑רֶץ וַיֵּ֨רֶד אַבְרָ֤ם מִצְרַ֨יְמָה֙ לָג֣וּר שָׁ֔ם כִּֽי־כָבֵ֥ד הָֽרָעָ֖ב בָּאָֽרֶץ:

12:11

As they approached Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, 'I realize that you are a good-looking woman. 
Vayehi ka'asher hikriv lavo Mitsraymah vayomer el-Saray ishto hineh-na yadati ki ishah yefat-mar'eh at.

יאוַיְהִ֕י כַּֽאֲשֶׁ֥ר הִקְרִ֖יב לָב֣וֹא מִצְרָ֑יְמָה וַיֹּ֨אמֶר֙ אֶל־שָׂרַ֣י אִשְׁתּ֔וֹ הִנֵּה־נָ֣א יָדַ֔עְתִּי כִּ֛י אִשָּׁ֥ה יְפַת־מַרְאֶ֖ה אָֽתְּ:

12:12

When the Egyptians see you, they will assume that you are my wife and kill me, allowing you to live. 
Vehayah ki-yir'u otach haMitsrim ve'amru ishto zot vehargu oti ve'otach yechayu.

יבוְהָיָ֗ה כִּֽי־יִרְא֤וּ אֹתָךְ֙ הַמִּצְרִ֔ים וְאָֽמְר֖וּ אִשְׁתּ֣וֹ זֹ֑את וְהָֽרְג֥וּ אֹתִ֖י וְאֹתָ֥ךְ יְחַיּֽוּ:

12:13

If you would, say that you are my sister. They will then be good to me for your sake, and through your efforts, my life will be spared.' 
Imri-na achoti at lema'an yitav-li va'avurech vechaytah nafshi biglalech.

יגאִמְרִי־נָ֖א אֲחֹ֣תִי אָ֑תְּ לְמַ֨עַן֙ יִֽיטַב־לִ֣י בַֽעֲבוּרֵ֔ךְ וְחָֽיְתָ֥ה נַפְשִׁ֖י בִּגְלָלֵֽךְ:

12:14

Second Reading
When Abram came to Egypt, the Egyptians saw that his wife was very beautiful. 
Vayehi kevo Avram Mitsraymah vayir'u haMitsrim et-ha'ishah ki-yafah hi me'od.

ידוַיְהִ֕י כְּב֥וֹא אַבְרָ֖ם מִצְרָ֑יְמָה וַיִּרְא֤וּ הַמִּצְרִים֙ אֶת־הָ֣אִשָּׁ֔ה כִּֽי־יָפָ֥ה הִ֖וא מְאֹֽד:

12:15

Pharaoh's officials saw her, and spoke highly of her to Pharaoh. The woman was taken to Pharaoh's palace. 
Vayir'u otah sarey Far'oh vayehalelu otah el-Par'oh vatukach ha'ishah beyt Par'oh.

טווַיִּרְא֤וּ אֹתָהּ֙ שָׂרֵ֣י פַרְעֹ֔ה וַיְהַֽלֲל֥וּ אֹתָ֖הּ אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֑ה וַתֻּקַּ֥ח הָֽאִשָּׁ֖ה בֵּ֥ית פַּרְעֹֽה:

12:16

He treated Abram well because of her, and [Abram] thus acquired sheep, cattle, donkeys, male and female slaves, she-donkeys, and camels. 
Ule-Avram heytiv ba'avurah vayehi-lo tson-uvakar vachamorim va'avadim ushfachot va'atonot ugemalim.

טזוּלְאַבְרָ֥ם הֵיטִ֖יב בַּֽעֲבוּרָ֑הּ וַֽיְהִי־ל֤וֹ צֹֽאן־וּבָקָר֙ וַֽחֲמֹרִ֔ים וַֽעֲבָדִים֙ וּשְׁפָחֹ֔ת וַֽאֲתֹנֹ֖ת וּגְמַלִּֽים:

יזוַיְנַגַּ֨ע יְהֹוָ֧ה | אֶת־פַּרְעֹ֛ה נְגָעִ֥ים גְּדֹלִ֖ים וְאֶת־בֵּית֑וֹ עַל־דְּבַ֥ר שָׂרַ֖י אֵ֥שֶׁת אַבְרָֽם:

12:18

Pharaoh summoned Abram and said, 'How could you do this to me? Why didn't you tell me that she was your wife? 
Vayikra Far'oh le-Avram vayomer ma-zot asita li lamah lo-higadeta li ki ishtecha hi.

יחוַיִּקְרָ֤א פַרְעֹה֙ לְאַבְרָ֔ם וַיֹּ֕אמֶר מַה־זֹּ֖את עָשִׂ֣יתָ לִּ֑י לָ֚מָּה לֹֽא־הִגַּ֣דְתָּ לִּ֔י כִּ֥י אִשְׁתְּךָ֖ הִֽוא:

12:19

Why did you say that she was your sister so that I should take her to myself as a wife? Now here is your wife! Take her and go!' 
Lamah amarta achoti hi va'ekach otah li le'ishah ve'atah hineh ishtecha kach valech.

יטלָמָ֤ה אָמַ֨רְתָּ֙ אֲחֹ֣תִי הִ֔וא וָֽאֶקַּ֥ח אֹתָ֛הּ לִ֖י לְאִשָּׁ֑ה וְעַתָּ֕ה הִנֵּ֥ה אִשְׁתְּךָ֖ קַ֥ח וָלֵֽךְ:

12:20

Pharaoh put men in charge of [Abram], and they sent him on his way along with his wife and all that was his.
Vayetsav alav Par'oh anashim vayeshalechu oto ve'et-ishto ve'et-kol-asher-lo.

כוַיְצַ֥ו עָלָ֛יו פַּרְעֹ֖ה אֲנָשִׁ֑ים וַיְשַׁלְּח֥וּ אֹת֛וֹ וְאֶת־אִשְׁתּ֖וֹ וְאֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־לֽוֹ:
