⁷ You are the Lord, the God ^(A)who chose Abram and brought him out of ^(B)Ur of the Chaldeans ^(C)and gave him the name Abraham.

³¹ Terah ^(A)took Abram his son and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife, and they went forth together ^(B)from Ur of the Chaldeans to go into the land of Canaan, but when they came to Haran, they settled there.

⁵ No longer shall your name be called Abram,^[a] but ^(A)your name shall be Abraham,^{[b] (B)}for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.

² And Stephen said:

^(A)“Brothers and fathers, hear me. ^(B)The God ^(C)of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, ^(D)before he lived in Haran, ³ and said to him, ^(E)‘Go out from your land and from your kindred and go into the land that I will show you.’ ^4 (F)Then he went out from the land of the Chaldeans and lived in Haran. And ^(G)after his father died, ^(H)God removed him from there into this land in which you are now living.

² And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Long ago, ^(A)your fathers lived beyond the Euphrates,^[a] Terah, the father of Abraham and of Nahor; and ^(B)they served other gods. ^3 (C)Then I took your father Abraham from beyond the River^[b] and ^(D)led him through all the land of Canaan, and made his offspring many. ^(E)I gave him Isaac.

¹⁵ Yet ^(A)the Lord set his heart in love on your fathers and chose their offspring after them, you above all peoples, as you are this day.

⁷ And he said to him, “I am the Lord who ^(A)brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans ^(B)to give you this land to possess.”
