Bible Text

[1] Now Yahweh said to Abram, "Get out of your country, and from your relatives, and from your father's house, to the land that I will show you. [2] I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you, and make your name great. You will be a blessing. [3] I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. In you will all of the families of the earth be blessed." [4] So Abram went, as Yahweh had spoken to him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran.
