1490. Genesis 12:18. And Pharaoh called Abram and said, "What is this you have done to me? Why didn't you point out to me that she was your wife?"

And Pharaoh called Abram means that the Lord remembered. And said, "What is this you have done to me?" means that it caused him anguish. "That she was your wife" means when he realized that it would not be right for him to have any truth but truth that was wedded to something heavenly.
