Genesis 12:1-7
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. 5AbramH87 tookH3947 his wifeH802 SaraiH8297 and his nephewH1121H251 LotH3876, and allH3605 their 10possessionsH7399 whichH834 they had accumulatedH7408, and 11the 12peopleH5315 whichH834 they had acquiredH6213 in HaranH2771, and they 13setH3318H1980 out for the landH776 of CanaanH3667; 14so they cameH935 to the landH776 of CanaanH3667. 6AbramH87 passedH5674 through the landH776 as farH5704 as the siteH4725 of 15ShechemH7927, to the 16oakH436 of MorehH4176. Now the CanaanitesH3669 were in the landH776 atH227 thatH227 timeH227. 7And the LordH3068 17appearedH7200 to AbramH87 and saidH559, “18To your 19descendantsH2233 I will giveH5414 thisH2088 landH776.” So he builtH1129 20an altarH4196 thereH8033 to the LordH3068 who had appearedH7200 to him.
