1 NOW the Lord said to Abram, Go for yourself away from your country, from your relatives and your father's house, to the land that I will show you. 2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing . 3 And I will bless those who bless you and curse him who curses or uses insolent language toward you; in you will all the families and kindred of the earth be blessed . 4 So Abram departed, as the Lord had directed him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran. 5 Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the persons that they had acquired in Haran, and they went forth to go to the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan, 6 Abram passed through the land to the locality of Shechem, to the oak or terebinth tree of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. 7 Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, I will give this land to your posterity. So Abram built an altar there to the Lord, Who had appeared to him. 8 From there he pulled up and departed to the mountain on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the Lord and called upon the name of the Lord. 9 Abram journeyed on, still going toward the South (the Negeb).
