Genesis 12
1Now the LORD 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:
3And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse
him that curseth thee: and 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 the
souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the
land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
6And Abram passed through the land unto the place
of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the
land.
7And the LORD appeared unto
Abram, and said, Unto 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 Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and
Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called
upon the name of the LORD.
