Genesis 12:1-7

1Now the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto AbramH87, Get thee outH413 of thy countryH776, and from thy kindredH4138, and from thy father’sH1 houseH1004, unto the landH776 that I will shew thee:

2and I will makeH6213 of thee a greatH1419 nationH1471, and I will blessH1288 thee, and makeH6213 thy nameH8034 greatH1419; and be thou a blessingH1293:

3and I will blessH1288 them that blessH1288 thee, and him that curseth thee will I curseH7043: and in thee shall allH3605 the familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288.

4SoH3318 AbramH87 wentH3318, as the LORDH3068 had spokenH1696 unto him; and LotH3876 wentH3318 with him: and AbramH87 was seventyH7657 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he departedH3318 outH3318 of HaranH2771.

5And AbramH87 tookH3947 SaraiH8297 his wifeH802, and LotH3876 his brother’sH251 sonH1121, and allH3605 their substance that they had gatheredH7408, and the soulsH5315 that they had gotten in HaranH2771; and they wentH3318 forthH3318 to goH3318 intoH935 the landH776 of CanaanH3667; and intoH935 the landH776 of CanaanH3667 they cameH935.

6And AbramH87 passedH5674 throughH5674 the landH776 unto the placeH4725 of ShechemH7927, unto the oakH436 of MorehH4176. And the CanaaniteH3669 was then in the landH776.

7And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto AbramH87, and saidH559, Unto thy seedH2233 will I giveH5414 this landH776: and there builded he an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, who appearedH7200 unto him.
