The LORD had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to

the land I will show you. “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your

name great, and you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you

I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” 4 So Abram went, as

the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out

from Harran.
