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:

And I will make you into a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing;

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:

And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed."

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.

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.
