1. Now 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:
2. And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless
thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3. And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that
curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be
blessed.
4. So 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.
5. And 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.
6. And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem,
unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the
land.
7. And 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.
8. And 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.
9. And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
