Genesis 12:1-6

The LORD had said to Abram, ‘Leave your country and the people of your father's family. Go to the land that I will show you. I will cause your descendants to become a great nation. I will bless you. Everyone will know your name. You will bring my blessing to other people. I will bless those people who bless you. But I will curse anyone who insults you. I will bless all the families of people on the earth because of you.’ Abram did what the LORD had told him. He left Haran. Abram was 75 years old when he left Haran. Lot went with him. Abram took his wife Sarai and his nephew Lot. He took everything that belonged to them. He also took the people who worked for them in Haran. They all left to go to the land of Canaan. When they arrived in Canaan, Abram walked through the land. He went as far as Shechem, to the special oak tree of Moreh. At that time, Canaanites lived in this land.
