"The LORD said to Abram:
“Go forth out of the land of thy kinsfolk
and from your father’s house into the land that I will show thee.
“I will make of thee a great nation,
and I will bless thee;
I will make thy name great,
so that thee will be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless thee
and curse those who curse thee.
All the communities of the earth
shall find blessing in thee.”
Abram went as the LORD directed him.
