Genesis 11:27-12:3

New King James Version

Terah’s Descendants

²⁷This is the genealogy of Terah: Terah begot ^(A)Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran begot Lot. ²⁸And Haran died before his father Terah in his native land, in Ur of the Chaldeans. ²⁹Then Abram and Nahor took wives: the name of Abram’s wife was ^(B)Sarai,^[a] and the name of Nahor’s wife, ^(C)Milcah, the daughter of Haran the father of Milcah and the father of Iscah. ³⁰But ^(D)Sarai was barren; she had no child.

³¹And Terah ^(E)took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram’s wife, and they went out with them from ^(F)Ur of the Chaldeans to go to ^(G)the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran and dwelt there. ³²So the days of Terah were two hundred and five years, and Terah died in Haran.

Promises to Abram^(H)

12 Now the ^(I)Lord had said to Abram:

“Get ^(J)out of your country,
From your family
And from your father’s house,
To a land that I will show you.
²^(K)I will make you a great nation;
^(L)I will bless you
And make your name great;
^(M)And you shall be a blessing.
³^(N)I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in ^(O)you all the families of the earth shall be ^(P)blessed.”
