1 Now God had said to Abram, |Go out from your country, and from your relatives, and from 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 great. And you will be a blessing. 3 And I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who treat you with contempt, and through you all the families of the earth will be blessed.| 4 So Abram left, as God had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. 5 Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had accumulated, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they left to go to the land of Canaan. And they came to the land of Canaan, Genesis 12:1-5, New Heart English Bible. Public domain.
