1 The Lord said to Abram: Go forth from your land, your relatives, and from your father’s house to a land that I will show you.
2 I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you. All the families of the earth will find blessing in you.
4 Abram went as the Lord directed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.
