    Genesis 12:1-4

    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.a]">[a]
    I will bless those who bless you,
        and whoever curses you I will curse;
    and all peoples on earth
        will be blessed through you.”

    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.
