Genesis 12:1-7

1Now Jehovah saidH559 unto AbramH87, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindredH4138, and from thy father’sH1 houseH1004, unto the landH776 that I will showH7200 thee:

2and I will makeH6213 of thee a greatH1419 nationH1471, and I will blessH1288 thee, and makeH6213 thy nameH8034 greatH1419; and beH1961 thou a blessingH1293:

3and I will blessH1288 them that blessH1288 thee, and him that curseth thee will I curseH7043: and in thee shall all the familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288.

4So AbramH87 wentH3318, as Jehovah had spokenH1696 unto him; and LotH3876 wentH3318 with him: and AbramH87 was seventyH7657 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 old whenH834 he departed out of HaranH2771.

5And AbramH87 tookH3947 SaraiH8297 his wifeH802, and LotH3876 his brother’sH251 sonH1121, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the soulsH5315 that they had gotten in HaranH2771; and they wentH3318 forthH3318 to goH3318 into the landH776 of CanaanH3667; and into the landH776 of CanaanH3667 they cameH935.

6And AbramH87 passedH5674 through the landH776 unto the placeH4725 of ShechemH7927, unto the oak of MorehH4176. And the CanaaniteH3669 was thenH227 in the landH776.

7And Jehovah appearedH7200 unto AbramH87, and saidH559, Unto thy seedH2233 will I giveH5414 this landH776: and there builded he an altarH4196 unto Jehovah, who appearedH7200 unto him.
