And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
So Pharaoh gave orders to his men about Abraham, and they escorted him out of the country along with his wife and everything he owned.
This verse shows Pharaoh expelling Abraham from Egypt after discovering Abraham had lied about Sarah being his sister rather than his wife.
📚 Historical Context
In the biblical narrative, Abram traveled to Egypt due to a severe famine in the land of Canaan, where he had been called by God to go. He asked his wife Sarai to pretend to be his sister to protect himself from potential harm by the Egyptians, which led Pharaoh to take her into his household and bring plagues upon his house as divine intervention. Once Pharaoh realized the truth, he ordered his men to escort Abram and his family away to resolve the conflict.
