1 Mosebok 12
Svenska Folkbibeln
Gud kallar Abram
12 Herren sade till Abram: "Gå ut ur ditt land och från din släkt och din fars hus och bege dig till det land som jag skall visa dig. 2 Där skall jag göra dig till ett stort folk. Jag skall välsigna dig och göra ditt namn stort, och du skall bli en välsignelse. 3 Jag skall välsigna dem som välsignar dig och förbanna den som förbannar dig. I dig skall alla släkter på jorden bli välsignade."[a]
4 Abram begav sig i väg som Herren hade sagt till honom, och Lot gick med honom. Abram var sjuttiofem år när han lämnade Haran. 5 Han tog med sig sin hustru Saraj och sin brorson Lot, alla ägodelar och allt det tjänstefolk som de hade skaffat sig i Haran och begav sig av mot Kanaans land.
När de kom till Kanaans land 6 fortsatte Abram in i landet ända till Sikems område, till Mores terebint. På den tiden bodde kananeerna i landet. 7 Och Herren uppenbarade sig för Abram och sade: "Åt dina efterkommande skall jag ge detta land." Då byggde han ett altare åt Herren som hade uppenbarat sig för honom. 8 Därifrån drog han vidare till berget öster om Betel och slog upp sitt tält så att han hade Betel i väster och Ai i öster. Där byggde han ett altare åt Herren och åkallade Herrens namn. 9 Sedan bröt Abram upp därifrån och drog sig allt längre söderut.
Abram i Egypten
10 Men det blev hungersnöd i landet och Abram flyttade ner till Egypten för att bo där som främling, ty hungersnöden var svår i landet. 11 När han närmade sig Egypten, sade han till sin hustru Saraj: "Hör på, jag vet att du är en vacker kvinna. 12 När egyptierna får se dig kommer de att säga: Hon är hans hustru! Och så kommer de att döda mig, men låta dig leva. 13 Säg därför att du är min syster, så går det bra för mig för din skull och jag får leva tack vare dig."
14 Så kom Abram till Egypten. Egyptierna såg att Saraj var en mycket vacker kvinna, 15 och när faraos hövdingar fick se henne, prisade de henne inför farao och hon fördes in i faraos palats. 16 Och det gick bra för Abram för hennes skull, och han fick får, nötboskap och åsnor, tjänare och tjänarinnor, åsninnor och kameler.
17 Men Herren lät farao och hans hus drabbas av stora plågor för Abrams hustru Sarajs skull. 18 Då kallade farao till sig Abram och sade: "Vad har du gjort mot mig! Varför berättade du inte för mig att hon är din hustru? 19 Varför sade du: 'Hon är min syster', så att jag tog henne till hustru? Här har du din hustru, tag henne och ge dig av!" 20 Och farao gav sina män order att skicka i väg Abram med hans hustru och allt han ägde.

The Call of Abram
12 The Lord said to Abram:
Go out from your land,
your relatives,
and your father’s house
to the land that I will show you.(A)
2 I will make you into a great nation,(B)
I will bless you,(C)
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.[a](D)
3 I will bless those who bless you,
I will curse those who treat you with contempt,(E)
and all the peoples[b] on earth
will be blessed[c] through you.[d](F)
4 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was 75 years old when he left Haran.(G) 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, 6 Abram passed through the land to the site of Shechem,(H) at the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. 7 Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.”(I) So he built an altar there to the Lord who had appeared to him. 8 From there he moved on to the hill country east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. He built an altar to Yahweh there, and he called on the name of Yahweh.(J) 9 Then Abram journeyed by stages to the Negev.
Abram in Egypt
10 There was a famine in the land,(K) so Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine in the land was severe. 11 When he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “Look, I know what a beautiful woman you are. 12 When the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ They will kill me but let you live.(L) 13 Please say you’re my sister so it will go well for me because of you, and my life will be spared on your account.” 14 When Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful. 15 Pharaoh’s officials saw her and praised her to Pharaoh, so the woman was taken to Pharaoh’s household. 16 He treated Abram well because of her, and Abram acquired flocks and herds, male and female donkeys, male and female slaves, and camels.
17 But the Lord struck Pharaoh and his household with severe plagues because of Abram’s wife Sarai.(M) 18 So Pharaoh sent for Abram and said, “What have you done to me? Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife? 19 Why did you say, ‘She’s my sister,’ so that I took her as my wife? Now, here is your wife. Take her and go!” 20 Then Pharaoh gave his men orders about him, and they sent him away with his wife and all he had.

New International Version
The Call of Abram
12 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household(A) to the land(B) I will show you.(C)
2 “I will make you into a great nation,(D)
and I will bless you;(E)
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.[a](F)
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;(G)
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.(H)”[b]
4 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot(I) went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old(J) when he set out from Harran.(K) 5 He took his wife Sarai,(L) his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated(M) and the people(N) they had acquired in Harran, and they set out for the land of Canaan,(O) and they arrived there.
6 Abram traveled through the land(P) as far as the site of the great tree of Moreh(Q) at Shechem.(R) At that time the Canaanites(S) were in the land. 7 The Lord appeared to Abram(T) and said, “To your offspring[c] I will give this land.(U)”(V) So he built an altar there to the Lord,(W) who had appeared to him.
8 From there he went on toward the hills east of Bethel(X) and pitched his tent,(Y) with Bethel on the west and Ai(Z) on the east. There he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord.(AA)
9 Then Abram set out and continued toward the Negev.(AB)
Abram in Egypt(AC)
10 Now there was a famine in the land,(AD) and Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine was severe.(AE) 11 As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai,(AF) “I know what a beautiful woman(AG) you are. 12 When the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me but will let you live. 13 Say you are my sister,(AH) so that I will be treated well for your sake and my life will be spared because of you.”
14 When Abram came to Egypt, the Egyptians saw that Sarai was a very beautiful woman.(AI) 15 And when Pharaoh’s officials saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into his palace. 16 He treated Abram well for her sake, and Abram acquired sheep and cattle, male and female donkeys, male and female servants, and camels.(AJ)
17 But the Lord inflicted(AK) serious diseases on Pharaoh and his household(AL) because of Abram’s wife Sarai. 18 So Pharaoh summoned Abram. “What have you done to me?”(AM) he said. “Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife?(AN) 19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’(AO) so that I took her to be my wife? Now then, here is your wife. Take her and go!” 20 Then Pharaoh gave orders about Abram to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and everything he had.
