1. The Lord said to Abram, “Leave your country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land I will show you.
2. I will make you a great nation,and I will bless you.I will make you famous,and you will be a blessing to others.
3. I will bless those who bless you,and I will place a curse on those who harm you.And all the people on earthwill be blessed through you.”
4. So Abram left Haran as the Lord had told him, and Lot went with him. At this time Abram was 75 years old.
5. He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, and everything they owned, as well as all the servants they had gotten in Haran. They set out from Haran, planning to go to the land of Canaan, and in time they arrived there.
6. Abram traveled through that land as far as the great tree of Moreh at Shechem. The Canaanites were living in the land at that time.
