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.
