*
Now the LORD said to Abram , "
Go from your country and your kindred and your father '
s house to the land that I will show you .
*
And I will make of you a great nation ,
and I will bless you ,
and make your name great ,
so that you will be a blessing .
*
I will bless those who bless you ,
and him who curses you I will curse ;
and by you all the families of the earth shall bless themselves ."
*
So Abram went ,
as the LORD had told him ;
and Lot went with him .
Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran .
*
And Abram took Sar '
ai his wife ,
and Lot his brother '
s son ,
and all their possessions which they had gathered ,
and the persons that they had gotten in Haran ;
and they set forth to go to the land of Canaan .
When they had come to the land of Canaan ,
*
Abram passed through the land to the place at Shechem ,
to the oak of Moreh .
At that time the Canaanites were in the land .
*
Then the LORD appeared to Abram ,
and said , "
To your descendants I will give this land ."
So he built there an altar to the LORD ,
who had appeared to him .
*
Thence he removed to the mountain on the east of Bethel ,
and pitched his tent ,
with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east ;
and there he built an altar to the LORD and called on the name of the LORD .
