God's Call to Abram

12 (A)The Lord said to Abram, “Leave your country, your relatives, and your father's home, and go to a land that I am going to show you. I will give you many descendants, and they will become a great nation. I will bless you and make your name famous, so that you will be a blessing.

(B)I will bless those who bless you,
But I will curse those who curse you.
And through you I will bless all the nations.”[a]

When Abram was seventy-five years old, he started out from Haran, as the Lord had told him to do; and Lot went with him.
