Abram and Sarai


We just learned about the Tower of Babel.

Let's learn about the story of Abram and Sarai.

We learned before about Noah, and one of the descendants of Noah was Abram.
In Genesis 12, Abram was told by God to go travel the world and he would take care of him.

Abram got married to a beautiful woman named Sarai.
When he was traveling he was going to Egypt, but was worried that people would see his wife Sarai, then attack him and steal her.
So he told everyone she was his sister.

The Pharaoh thought he was beautiful, and took Sarai for his wife, but then got sick because God wasn't happy about this.
Pharaoh let Sarai go and told everyone to leave Abram alone and then sent Abram on his way.
