26 After Terah was 70 years old, he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

The Family of Terah

27 This is the account of Terah’s family. Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran was the father of Lot. 28 But Haran died in Ur of the Chaldeans, the land of his birth, while his father, Terah, was still living. 29 Meanwhile, Abram and Nahor both married. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milcah. (Milcah and her sister Iscah were daughters of Nahor’s brother Haran.) 30 But Sarai was unable to become pregnant and had no children.

31 One day Terah took his son Abram, his daughter-in-law Sarai (his son Abram’s wife), and his grandson Lot (his son Haran’s child) and moved away from Ur of the Chaldeans. He was headed for the land of Canaan, but they stopped at Haran and settled there. 32 Terah lived for 205 years[a] and died while still in Haran.

The Call of Abram

12 The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you. I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.”

So Abram departed as the Lord had instructed, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran. He took his wife, Sarai, his nephew Lot, and all his wealth—his livestock and all the people he had taken into his household at Haran—and headed for the land of Canaan. When they arrived in Canaan, Abram traveled through the land as far as Shechem. There he set up camp beside the oak of Moreh. At that time, the area was inhabited by Canaanites.

Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your descendants.[b]” And Abram built an altar there and dedicated it to the Lord, who had appeared to him. After that, Abram traveled south and set up camp in the hill country, with Bethel to the west and Ai to the east. There he built another altar and dedicated it to the Lord, and he worshiped the Lord. Then Abram continued traveling south by stages toward the Negev.

Abram’s Family

27 This is the account(D) of Terah’s family line.

Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor(E) and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot.(F) 28 While his father Terah was still alive, Haran died in Ur of the Chaldeans,(G) in the land of his birth. 29 Abram and Nahor(H) both married. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai,(I) and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milkah;(J) she was the daughter of Haran, the father of both Milkah and Iskah. 30 Now Sarai was childless because she was not able to conceive.(K)

31 Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot(L) son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law(M) Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans(N) to go to Canaan.(O) But when they came to Harran,(P) they settled there.

32 Terah(Q) lived 205 years, and he died in Harran.

The Call of Abram

12 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household(R) to the land(S) I will show you.(T)

“I will make you into a great nation,(U)
    and I will bless you;(V)
I will make your name great,
    and you will be a blessing.[a](W)
I will bless those who bless you,
    and whoever curses you I will curse;(X)
and all peoples on earth
    will be blessed through you.(Y)[b]

So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot(Z) went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old(AA) when he set out from Harran.(AB) He took his wife Sarai,(AC) his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated(AD) and the people(AE) they had acquired in Harran, and they set out for the land of Canaan,(AF) and they arrived there.

Abram traveled through the land(AG) as far as the site of the great tree of Moreh(AH) at Shechem.(AI) At that time the Canaanites(AJ) were in the land. The Lord appeared to Abram(AK) and said, “To your offspring[c] I will give this land.(AL)(AM) So he built an altar there to the Lord,(AN) who had appeared to him.

From there he went on toward the hills east of Bethel(AO) and pitched his tent,(AP) with Bethel on the west and Ai(AQ) on the east. There he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord.(AR)

Then Abram set out and continued toward the Negev.(AS)
