1 And Jehovah will say to Abram, Go for thyself from thy land, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, to the land which I will shew thee.

2 And I will make thee into a great nation, and I will bless thee, and I will make thy name great; and thou shalt be blessed.

3 And I will praise them praising thee, and I will curse him cursing thee, and in thee shall all the families of the earth be praised.

4 And Abram went according to which Jehovah spake to him, and Lot went with him: and Abram the son of five years and seventy years in his coming out of Haran.

5 And Abram will take Sand his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their riches which they acquired, and the souls which they acquired in Haran, and they came forth to go into the land of Canaan; and they shall come into the land of Canaan.

6 And Abram shall pass over the land to the place Sichem, to the erect oak tree. And the Canaanite then in the land.

7 And Jehovah shall be seen to Abram, and will say, To thy seed will I give this land, and he will build there an altar to Jehovah, being seen to him.

8 And he will remove from thence to the mountain from the cast of the house of God, and shall stretch forth his tent; Bethel from the sea, and Hai from the east, and he shall build there an altar to Jehovah, and will call upon the name of Jehovah.

9 And Abram will remove, going and removing to the desert.
