The Torah
From Genesis 12:1 –7 (This means Genesis, Chapter 12, verses 1 through 7.)
1. Now the Lord said unto Abram, “go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you.”
2. 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. I will bless those who bless you, and him who curses you I will curse; and by you all the families of the earth will bless themselves.’
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 Haran.
5. And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot, his brother’s son, and all their possessions, which they had gathered, and the persons that they had gotten in Haran; and they set forth, to go to the land of Canaan. When they had come to the land of Canaan,
6. Abram passed through the land to the place at Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land.
7. Then the LORD appeared to Abram, and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.’ So he built there an altar to the LORD, who had appeared to him.
