B'resheet (Gen) 12:1-7

B'resheet (Gen) 12:1-7 CJB

Now ADONAI said to Avram, “Get yourself out of your country, away from your kinsmen and away from your father’s house, and go to the land that I will show you. I will make of you a great nation, I will bless you, and I will make your name great; and you are to be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, but I will curse anyone who curses you; and by you all the families of the earth will be blessed.” So Avram went, as ADONAI had said to him, and Lot went with him. Avram was 75 years old when he left Haran. Avram took his wife Sarai, his brother’s son Lot, and all their possessions which they had accumulated, as well as the people they had acquired in Haran; then they set out for the land of Kena‘an and entered the land of Kena‘an. Avram passed through the land to the place called Sh’khem, to the oak of Moreh. The Kena‘ani were then in the land. ADONAI appeared to Avram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to ADONAI, who had appeared to him.
