  • Genesis 12:1-4

    Abram’s family moves to Canaan

    12 The Lord said to Abram, “Leave your land, your family, and your father’s household for the land that I will show you. 2 I will make of you a great nation and will bless you. I will make your name respected, and you will be a blessing.

    3 I will bless those who bless you,
        those who curse you I will curse;
            all the families of the earth
                will be blessed because of you.”

    4 Abram left just as the Lord told him, and Lot went with him. Now Abram was 75 years old when he left Haran.
