1 The Lord told Abram, “Leave your country, your relatives, your family home, and travel to the land I'm going to show you.
2 I will make you the ancestor of a great nation and I will bless you. I will make sure you have a great reputation and that you are a blessing to others.
3 I will bless those who bless you; I will curse those who curse you. Everyone on earth will be blessed through you.”
4 So Abram left following the Lord's instructions, and Lot went with him. Abram was 75 when he left Haran.
5 With him went his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, together with all the possessions they had collected and the people that had joined them in Haran. They left for the land of Canaan. When they arrived there,
6 Abram traveled on through the land as far as a place called Shechem, stopping at the oak tree of Moreh. At that time the land was occupied by Canaanites.
7 The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “I'm going to give this land to your descendants.” So Abram built an altar to the Lord there because that was where the Lord appeared to him.
8 Then he moved on to the hill country east of Bethel and set up camp there. Bethel was to the west and Ai to the east. He built an altar to the Lord there and worshiped him.
9 After that he went on his way, heading towards the Negev.
