'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 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 them that bless thee, and curse him that

curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth

be blessed. 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. 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. And Abram passed through the land unto

the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the

Canaanite was then in the land. 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. And he removed from thence unto a

mountain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent,

having Beth-el 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. And Abram journeyed, going on

still toward the south.'
