Genesis 11:27-12:9
27
Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran fathered Lot.
28
Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his kindred, in Ur of the Chaldeans.
29
And Abram and Nahor took wives. The name of Abram's wife was i Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife, j Milcah, the daughter of Haran the father of Milcah and Iscah.
30
Now Sarai was barren; she had no child.
31
Terah k took Abram his son and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife, and they went forth together l from Ur of the Chaldeans to go into the land of Canaan, but when they came to Haran, they settled there.
32
The days of Terah were 205 years, and Terah died in Haran.
Genesis 12
1
Now m the Lord said to Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you.
2
n And 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
o I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and p in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."
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 q Haran.
5
And 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,
6
Abram r passed through the land to the place at Shechem, to s the oak of t Moreh. At that time u the Canaanites were in the land.
7
Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, v "To your offspring I will give this land." So he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.
8
From there he moved to the hill country on the east of w Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. And there he built an altar to the Lord and called upon the name of the Lord.
9
And Abram journeyed on, still going toward the Negeb.
