Genesis 12
World English Bible
12 Now Yahweh said to Abram, “Leave your country, and your relatives, and your father’s house, and go to the land that I will show you. 2 I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who treats you with contempt. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
4 So Abram went, as Yahweh had told him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. 5 Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother’s son, all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they went to go into the land of Canaan. They entered into the land of Canaan. 6 Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time, Canaanites were in the land.
7 Yahweh appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.”[a]
He built an altar there to Yahweh, who had appeared to him. 8 He left from there to go to the mountain on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to Yahweh and called on Yahweh’s name. 9 Abram traveled, still going on toward the South.
10 There was a famine in the land. Abram went down into Egypt to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe in the land. 11 When he had come near to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look at. 12 It will happen that when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ They will kill me, but they will save you alive. 13 Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that my soul may live because of you.”
14 When Abram had come into Egypt, some Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful. 15 The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house. 16 He dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels. 17 Yahweh afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife. 18 Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why didn’t you tell me that she was your wife? 19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, see your wife, take her, and go your way.”
20 Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they escorted him away with his wife and all that he had.

Chemarea lui Avram
12 Domnul îi zisese lui Avram: „Ieşi din ţara ta, dintre rudeniile tale şi din casa tatălui tău şi vino în ţara pe care ţi-o voi arăta! 2 Te voi face un neam mare şi te voi binecuvânta; voi face numele tău mare, iar tu vei fi o binecuvântare. 3 Îi voi binecuvânta pe cei ce te vor binecuvânta, dar îl voi blestema pe cel ce te va blestema. Prin tine vor fi binecuvântate toate familiile[a] pământului!“ 4 Avram a plecat, aşa cum îi spusese Domnul, iar Lot a mers împreună cu el. Avram avea şaptezeci şi cinci de ani când a plecat din Haran. 5 El a luat-o pe soţia sa, Sarai, şi pe nepotul său Lot, toate bunurile pe care ei le-au adunat şi sclavii pe care i-au dobândit în Haran, au plecat spre Canaan şi au ajuns acolo. 6 Avram a călătorit prin ţară până la terebintul lui More din Şehem. Pe atunci canaaniţii se aflau în ţară. 7 Domnul i S-a arătat lui Avram şi i-a zis: „Seminţei tale[b] îi voi da această ţară!“ Avram a zidit acolo un altar Domnului Care i Se arătase. 8 De acolo a pornit spre munte, la răsărit de Betel şi şi-a întins cortul, având Betelul la apus, iar Ai la răsărit. El a zidit acolo un altar Domnului şi a chemat Numele Domnului. 9 Apoi Avram a călătorit în continuare spre Neghev[c].
Avram în Egipt
10 A venit o foamete în ţară şi, pentru că foametea era grea, Avram s-a dus în Egipt ca să locuiască acolo pentru o vreme. 11 Când era aproape de a intra în Egipt, Avram i-a zis soţiei sale, Sarai: „Ştiu că eşti o femeie frumoasă. 12 Când te vor vedea egiptenii şi îşi vor da seama că eşti soţia mea, pe mine mă vor omorî, iar pe tine te vor lăsa în viaţă. 13 Spune că eşti sora mea, ca să-mi meargă bine din cauza ta şi viaţa să-mi fie cruţată datorită ţie.“ 14 Când Avram a intrat în Egipt, egiptenii au văzut că Sarai era foarte frumoasă. 15 Demnitarii lui Faraon[d] au văzut-o, i-au lăudat-o, iar ea a fost adusă în familia lui. 16 Faraon l-a tratat bine pe Avram datorită ei şi i-a dat oi, boi, măgari, măgăriţe, sclavi, sclave şi cămile. 17 Dar Domnul l-a lovit cu urgii pe Faraon şi familia lui din cauza lui Sarai, soţia lui Avram. 18 Atunci Faraon l-a chemat pe Avram şi l-a întrebat: „De ce mi-ai făcut una ca asta? De ce nu mi-ai spus că ea este soţia ta? 19 De ce ai pretins că este sora ta, iar eu am luat-o de soţie? Ia-ţi soţia şi du-te!“ 20 Faraon le-a dat porunci oamenilor săi cu privire la Avram, iar aceştia l-au izgonit împreună cu soţia lui şi cu tot ce avea.

- Geneza 12:7 Termenul ebraic pentru sămânţă este un singular care se poate referi atât la un singur urmaş, cât şi la toţi urmaşii de pe linia genealogică a unei persoane (colectiv). Este foarte probabil ca în cele mai multe cazuri termenul să exprime o ambiguitate intenţionată. Apostolul Pavel (Gal. 3:16) aplică acelaşi termen, sămânţă, lui Isus Cristos, demonstrând prin exegeza sa că promisiunea făcută lui Avraam îşi găseşte împlinirea ultimă în Isus Cristos

Genesis 12
King James Version
12 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
4 So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
7 And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him.
8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the Lord, and called upon the name of the Lord.
9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:
12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.
17 And the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
18 And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
19 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
