Genesis 12:1-5

1Now YhwhH3068 had saidH559 unto AbramH87, Get thee outH3212 of thy countryH776, and from thy kindredH4138, and from thy father’sH1 houseH1004, unto a landH776 that I will shewH7200 thee:

2And I will make of theeH6213 a greatH1419 nationH1471, and I will blessH1288 thee, and makeH1431 thy nameH8034 greatH1431; and thou shalt be a blessingH1293:

3And I will blessH1288 them that blessH1288 thee, and curseH779 him that cursethH7043 thee: and in thee shall all familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288.

4So AbramH87 departedH3212, as YhwhH3068 had spokenH1696 unto him; and LotH3876 wentH3212 with him: and AbramH87 was seventyH8141H7657 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he departedH3318 out of HaranH2771.

5And AbramH87 tookH3947 SaraiH8297 his wifeH802, and LotH3876 his brother’sH251 sonH1121, and all their substanceH7399 that they had gatheredH7408, and the soulsH5315 that they had gottenH6213 in HaranH2771; and they went forthH3318 to goH3212 into the landH776 of CanaanH3667; and into the landH776 of CanaanH3667 they cameH935.
