Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: |
|
|
|
| 12:2 |
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: |
|
|
|
| 12:3 |
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. |
|

So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. |
|
|
|
| 12:5 |
And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came. |
|

|
| 12:6 |
And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. |

And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him. |

And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD. |
