Genesis 12:1-7

1Now the LORDH3068 had saidH559 to AbramH87, DepartH3212 from thy countryH776, and from thy kindredH4138, and from thy father’sH1 houseH1004, to a landH776 that I will showH7200 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 the LORDH3068 had spokenH1696 to him; and LotH3876 wentH3212 with him: and AbramH87 was seventyH7657H8141 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he departedH3318 from 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 wentH3318 to go forthH3212 into the landH776 of CanaanH3667; and into the landH776 of CanaanH3667 they cameH935.

6And AbramH87 passed throughH5674 the landH776 to the placeH4725 of SichemH7927, to the plainH436 of MorehH4176. And the CanaaniteH3669 was thenH227 in the landH776.1 7And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to AbramH87, and saidH559, To thy seedH2233 will I giveH5414 thisH2063 landH776: and there he builtH1129 an altarH4196 to the LORDH3068, who appearedH7200 to him.
