Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan. But when they came to Harran, they settled there.
-
So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Harran.
-
He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Harran, and they set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there.
-
Then Abram set out and continued toward the Negev.
-
So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan and set out toward the east. The two men parted company:
-
As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and a thick and dreadful darkness came over him.
-
When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking firepot with a blazing torch appeared and passed between the pieces.
-
He then brought some curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set these before them. While they ate, he stood near them under a tree.

Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about.
-
Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they set off together for Beersheba. And Abraham stayed in Beersheba.
