3 I will bless those who bless you,

and all the peoples[b] on earth
will be blessed[c] through you.[d](G)

Abram was 75 years old when he left Haran.(H) 5 He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated, and the people he had acquired in Haran, and they set out for the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan,
