Genesis 12:1–4

The Call of Abram

12 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s householdd to the lande I will show you.f

2 “I will make you into a great nation,g

and I will bless you;h

I will make your name great,

and you will be a blessing.a i

3 I will bless those who bless you,

and whoever curses you I will curse;j

and all peoples on earth

will be blessed through you.k”b

4 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lotl went with him. Abram was seventy-five years oldm when he set out from Harran.n
