Genesis 12:12

וְ הָיָה כִּי יִרְאוּ אֹתָךְ הַ מִּצְרִים וְ אָמְרוּ אִשְׁתֹּו זֹאת וְ הָרְגוּ אֹתִי וְ אֹתָךְ יְחַיּוּ
and he has become that the Egyptians see אֶת-you, and they have said, `This one is his woman,` and they have slain me, and you they let live:480

This clearly speaks to Christ’s act of coming down and saving his Chosen Bride by letting himself be slain by the Egyptians, the religious leaders, who saw Christ’s following and influence, and slew him on account of it. His breath lives for her sake.
