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)

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)

⁸ By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance,^(A) obeyed and went,^(B) even though he did not know where he was going.

⁹ And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing^(A) them. ¹⁰ So now, go. I am sending^(B) you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”^(C)

⁶ Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.^(A)
