1 The Lord said to Abram, "Leave your land, your family, and your father’s household for the land that I will show you.
2 I will make of you a great nation and will bless you. I will make your name respected, and you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,those who curse you I will curse;all the families of the earthwill be blessed because of you."
4 Abram left just as the Lord told him, and Lot went with him. Now Abram was 75 years old when he left Haran.
5 Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all of their possessions, and those who became members of their household in Haran; and they set out for the land of Canaan. When they arrived in Canaan,
6 Abram traveled through the land as far as the sacred place at Shechem, at the oak of Moreh. The Canaanites lived in the land at that time.
7 The Lord appeared to Abram and said, "I give this land to your descendants," so Abram built an altar there to the Lord who appeared to him.
