The Call of Abram

1 Now ^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}

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

Joshua 24:2-3

2 And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Long ago, ⁱyour fathers lived beyond the Euphrates, ^{▼▼Hebrew the River} Terah, the father of Abraham and of Nahor; and ^kthey served other gods. 3 ^lThen I took your father Abraham from beyond the River and ^mled him through all the land of Canaan, and made his offspring many. ⁿI gave him Isaac.

2 Chronicles 33:12-19

12 And when he was in distress, he entreated the favor of the Lord his God ^oand humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. 13 He prayed to him, and ^pGod was moved by his entreaty and heard his plea and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. ^qThen Manasseh knew that the Lord was God.

14 Afterward he built an outer wall for the city of David west of ^rGihon, in the valley, and for the entrance into ^sthe Fish Gate, and carried it around ^tOphel, and raised it to a very great height. He also put commanders of the army in all the fortified cities in Judah. 15 And ^uhe took away the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the Lord, and all the altars that he had built on the mountain of the house of the Lord and in Jerusalem, and he threw them outside of the city. 16 He also restored the altar of the Lord and offered on it sacrifices of peace offerings and of thanksgiving, and he commanded Judah to serve the Lord, the God of Israel. 17 ^vNevertheless, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to the Lord their God.

18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and ^whis prayer to his God, and the words of ^xthe seers who spoke to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, behold, they are in the ^yChronicles of the Kings of Israel. 19 And his prayer, and how ^zGod was moved by his entreaty, and all his sin and his faithlessness, and the sites ^aaon which he built high places and set up the ^abAsherim and the images, before ^ache humbled himself, behold, they are written in the Chronicles of the Seers. ^{▼▼One Hebrew manuscript, Septuagint; most Hebrew manuscripts of Hozai}

Hebrews 11:24-26

24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, ^aerefused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 ^afchoosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy ^agthe fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 ^ahHe considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to ^aithe reward.
