1Now athe Lord said
Or had said
to Abram, “Go from your country
Or land
and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you.
2 dAnd 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. 3 eI will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and fin you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
Or by you all the families of the earth shall bless themselves


4So Abram went, as the Lord had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from hHaran.

4And behold, the word of the Lord came to him: “This man shall not be your heir; iyour very own son
Hebrew what will come out of your own loins
shall be your heir.”
5And he brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven, and knumber the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, lSo shall your offspring be.” 6And mhe believed the Lord, and nhe counted it to him as righteousness.
