Draft edition - August 2000
12:1Now 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. 12:2I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you, and make your name great. You will be a blessing. 12:3I 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."
12:4So Abram went, as Yahweh had spoken to him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran. 12:5Abram 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.
