1 The Lord said to Abram: Leave your country, your family, and your relatives and go to the land that I will show you.
2 I will bless you and make your descendants into a great nation. You will become famous and be a blessing to others.
3 I will bless those who bless you, but I will put a curse on anyone who puts a curse on you. Everyone on earth will be blessed because of you.
6 Abram went as far as the sacred tree of Moreh in a place called Shechem. The Canaanites were still living in the land at that time,
7 but the Lord appeared to Abram and promised, “I will give this land to your family forever.” Abram then built an altar there for the Lord.
8 Abram traveled to the hill country east of Bethel and camped between Bethel and Ai, where he built another altar and worshiped the Lord.
9 Later, Abram started out toward the Southern Desert.
