Genesis 12:1-4

1Now 1the LordH3068 saidH559 to AbramH87, “GoH1980 from your countryH776, And from your relativesH4138 And from your father’sH1 houseH1004, To the landH776 whichH834 I will showH7200 you;2And 2I will makeH6213 you into a greatH1419 nationH1471, And 3I will blessH1288 you, And makeH1431 your nameH8034 greatH1431; And you shall 4be a blessingH1293;3And 5I will blessH1288 those who blessH1288 you, And the one who 6cursesH7043 you I will 7curseH779. 8And in you allH3605 the familiesH4940 of the earthH127 will be blessedH1288.”

4So AbramH87 wentH1980 away as the LordH3068 had spokenH1696 to him; and 9LotH3876 wentH1980 with him. Now AbramH87 was seventy-fiveH7657 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he departedH3318 from HaranH2771.
