Now the LORD said to Abram,
“Go forth from your country,
And from your relatives
And from your father’s house,
To the land which I will show you;
Now the LORD said to Abram,
“Go forth from your country,
And from your relatives
And from your father’s house,
To the land which I will show you;
Promises to Abram
Now the Lord had said to Abram:
“Get out of your country,
From your family
And from your father’s house,
To a land that I will show you.

“Get out of your country,
From your family

And I will make you a great nation,
And I will bless you,
And make your name great;
And so you shall be a blessing;
And I will bless you,
And make your name great;
And so you shall be a blessing;
I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.
And I will bless those who bless you,
And the one who curses you I will curse.
And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”
And the one who curses you I will curse.
And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”
I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

Abram passed through the land as far as the site of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. Now the Canaanite was then in the land.
The LORD appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to the LORD who had appeared to him.
Then he proceeded from there 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 upon the name of the LORD.
