1 The Lord said to Abram,“Leave your land,your relatives,and your father’s home.Go to the land that I will show you.
2 I will make you a great nation,I will bless you.I will make your name great,and you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,and whoever curses you, I will curse.Through you every family on earth will be blessed.”
4 So Abram left, as the Lord had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was 75 years old when he left Haran.
5 Abram set out for Canaan. He took along his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, and all the possessions they had accumulated and the servants they had acquired in Haran.
6 They arrived in Canaan, and Abram traveled through the land to the oak tree belonging to Moreh at Shechem. At that time the Canaanites were in the land.
