1Now 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.
2I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you, and make your name great. You will be a blessing.
3I 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."
4So Abram went, as Yahweh had spoken to him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran.
5Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother`s son, all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls who they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan. Into the land of Canaan they came.
6Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. The Canaanite was then in the land.
7Yahweh appeared to Abram, and said, "To your descendants I will give this land." He built an altar there to Yahweh, who appeared to him.
