Genesis 12:1-9

1And Jehovah had saidH559 to AbramH87, Go out of thy landH776, and from thy kindredH4138, and from thy father's houseH1004, to the landH776 that I will shew thee.

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

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

4And AbramH87 departed as Jehovah had saidH1696 to him. And LotH3876 wentH3318 with him. And AbramH87 was seventy-fiveH7657 yearsH8141 old whenH834 he departed out of HaranH2771.

5And AbramH87 tookH3947 SaraiH8297 his wifeH802, and LotH3876 his brother's sonH1121, and all their possessionsH7399 that they had acquired, and the soulsH5315 that they had obtained in HaranH2771, and they wentH3318 out to goH3318 into the landH776 of CanaanH3667; and into the landH776 of CanaanH3667 they cameH935.

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

7And Jehovah appearedH7200 to AbramH87, and saidH559, Unto thy seedH2233 will I giveH5414 this landH776. And there he builtH1129 an altarH4196 to Jehovah who had appearedH7200 to him.

8And he removed thence towards the mountainH2022 on the eastH6924 of Bethel, and pitchedH5186 his tentH168, [having] Bethel toward the westH3220, and Ai toward the eastH6924; and there he builtH1129 an altarH4196 to Jehovah, and calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of Jehovah.

9And AbramH87 moved onward, goingH1980 on still toward the southH5045.
