The Call of Abram

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. 5And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people that they had acquired in Haran, and they set out to go to the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan, 6Abram ipassed through the land to the place at Shechem, to jthe oak
Or terebinth
of lMoreh. At that time mthe Canaanites were in the land.
7Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, n“To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.

And behold, your sheaves gathered around it and rbowed down to my sheaf.” 8His brothers said to him, “Are you indeed to reign over us? Or are you indeed to rule over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.

9Then he dreamed another dream and told it to his brothers and said, “Behold, I have dreamed another dream. Behold, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” 10But when he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and syour mother and your brothers indeed come tto bow ourselves to the ground before you?”

1After two whole years, Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing by the Nile, 2and behold, there came up out of the Nile seven cows, attractive and plump, and they fed in the reed grass. 3And behold, seven other cows, ugly and thin, came up out of the Nile after them, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the Nile. 4And the ugly, thin cows ate up the seven attractive, plump cows. And Pharaoh awoke. 5And he fell asleep and dreamed a second time. And behold, seven ears of grain, plump and good, were growing on one stalk. 6And behold, after them sprouted seven ears, thin and wblighted by the east wind. 7And the thin ears swallowed up the seven plump, full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.
