“Get (C)out of your country,
From your family
And from your father’s house,
To a land that I will show you.

(E)I will bless you
And make your name great;
(F)And you shall be a blessing.
3 (G)I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in (H)you all the families of the earth shall be (I)blessed.”
