Genesis 12:1–9

^*Now the ^aLord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: ²And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: ^3bAnd I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: ^cand in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. ⁴So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. ⁵And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and ^dthe souls that they had gotten ^ein Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came. ⁶And Abram ^fpassed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the ^gplain of ^hMoreh. ⁱAnd the Canaanite was then in the land. ⁷And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, ^kUnto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him. ⁸And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the Lord, and ^lcalled upon the name of the Lord. ⁹And Abram journeyed, ^†going on still toward the south.
