Genesis 12

The Call of Abram

1 The Lord had said to Abram, "Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.

2 "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.*12:2 Or be seen as blessed

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."*12:3 Or earth / will use your name in blessings (see 48:20)
