Genesis 12:6

2I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.

3I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who treats you with contempt. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”

4So Abram went, as the LORD had told him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.

5Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother’s son, all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they went to go into the land of Canaan. They entered into the land of Canaan.

6Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time, Canaanites were in the land.

7The LORD appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.” He built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him.

8He left from there to go to the mountain on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the LORD and called on the LORD’s name.

9Abram traveled, still going on toward the South.

10There was a famine in the land. Abram went down into Egypt to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe in the land.
