Genesis 12:1-9

1Now 1the LordH3068 saidH559 to AbramH87, “2GoH1980 forth from your countryH776, And from your relativesH4138 And from your father’sH1 houseH1004, To the landH776 whichH834 I will showH7200 you;2And 3I will makeH6213 you a greatH1419 nationH1471, And 4I will blessH1288 you, And makeH1431 your nameH8034 greatH1431; And so 56you shall be a blessingH1293;3And 7I will blessH1288 those who blessH1288 you, And the one who 8cursesH7043 you I will 9curseH779. 10And in you allH3605 the familiesH4940 of the earthH127 will be blessedH1288.”

4So AbramH87 wentH1980 forth as the LordH3068 had spokenH1696 to him; and 11LotH3876 wentH1980 with him. Now AbramH87 was seventy-fiveH7657 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he departedH3318 from HaranH2771. 5AbramH87 tookH3947 SaraiH8297 his wifeH802 and LotH3876 his nephewH1121H251, and allH3605 their 12possessionsH7399 whichH834 they had accumulatedH7408, and 13the 14personsH5315 whichH834 they had acquiredH6213 in HaranH2771, and they 15setH3318H1980 out for the landH776 of CanaanH3667; 16thus they cameH935 to the landH776 of CanaanH3667. 6AbramH87 passedH5674 throughH5674 the landH776 as farH5704 as the siteH4725 of 17ShechemH7927, to the 18oakH436 of MorehH4176. Now the CanaaniteH3669 was thenH227 in the landH776. 7The LordH3068 19appearedH7200 to AbramH87 and saidH559, “20To your 21descendantsH2233 I will giveH5414 thisH2088 landH776.” So he builtH1129 22an altarH4196 thereH8033 to the LordH3068 who had appearedH7200 to him. 8Then he proceededH6275 from thereH8033 to the mountainH2022 on the eastH6924 of BethelH1008, and pitchedH5186 his tentH168, with 23BethelH1008 on the westH3220 and AiH5857 on the eastH6924; and thereH8033 he builtH1129 an altarH4196 to the LordH3068 and 24calledH7121 upon the nameH8034 of the LordH3068. 9AbramH87 journeyedH5265 on, continuingH1980H5265 toward 25the 26NegevH5045.
