Promises to Abram

1 Now the aLord had said to Abram:
“Get bout of your country,
From your family
And from your father’s house,
To a land that I will show you. 
2 aI will make you a great nation;
bI will bless you
And make your name great;
cAnd you shall be a blessing. 
3 aI will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in byou all the families of the earth shall be cblessed.”  
4 So Abram departed as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
5 Then Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and athe people whom they had acquired in bHaran, and they cdeparted to go to the land of Canaan. So they came to the land of Canaan.  
6 Abram apassed through the land to the place of Shechem, bas far as the terebinth tree of Moreh. cAnd the Canaanites were then in the land.  
7 aThen the Lord appeared to Abram and said, b“To your descendants I will give this land.” And there he built an caltar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.  
8 And he moved from there to the mountain east of Bethel, and he pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; there he built an altar to the Lord and acalled on the name of the Lord.  
9 So Abram journeyed, agoing on still toward the South.  

Abram in Egypt

10 Now there was aa famine in the land, and Abram bwent down to Egypt to dwell there, for the famine was csevere in the land.  
11 And it came to pass, when he was close to entering Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, “Indeed I know that you are aa woman of beautiful countenance.  
12 Therefore it will happen, when the Egyptians see you, that they will say, ‘This is his wife’; and they awill kill me, but they will let you live.  
13 aPlease say you are my bsister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that1 I may live because of you.”  
14 So it was, when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians saw the woman, that she was very beautiful.
15 The princes of Pharaoh also saw her and commended her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken to Pharaoh’s house.
