What does "Genesis 12:14" mean?
Genesis 12:14 states: "When Abram had come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful."
This verse means that when Abram (later known as Abraham) entered Egypt with his wife Sarai (later Sarah), the Egyptians noticed Sarai's exceptional beauty. This observation is significant because it sets the stage for the events that follow. Abram, fearing that the Egyptians would kill him to take Sarai for themselves, had instructed her to say she was his sister. Sarai's beauty attracted the attention of Pharaoh, and he took her into his harem.
