Genesis 12

The Call of Abram

1 # Acts 7.3; Heb 11.8 Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. 2#Gen 15.5; 17.4, 5; 18.18; 22.17; 28.14; 32.12; 35.11; 46.3I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3#Gen 18.18; 22.18; 26.4; 27.29; Ex 23.22; Num 24.9; Acts 3.25; Gal 3.8I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”#12.3 Or by you all the families of the earth shall bless themselves

4 # Gen 11.27, 31 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. 5#Gen 11.31; 14.14Abram took his wife Sarai and his brother’s son Lot and all the possessions that they had gathered and the persons whom they had acquired in Haran, and they set forth to go to the land of Canaan. When they had come to the land of Canaan, 6#Gen 10.18, 19; Deut 11.30; Heb 11.9Abram passed through the land to the place at Shechem, to the oak#12.6 Or terebinth of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. 7#Gen 13.4, 15; 17.1, 8; Ps 105.9Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him. 8#Gen 13.4From there he moved on to the hill country on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east, and there he built an altar to the Lord and invoked the name of the Lord. 9And Abram journeyed on by stages toward the Negeb.

Abram and Sarai in Egypt

10Now there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to reside there as an alien, for the famine was severe in the land. 11When he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “I know well that you are a woman beautiful in appearance, 12#Gen 20.11and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife’; then they will kill me, but they will let you live. 13#Gen 20.5, 13Say you are my sister, so that it may go well with me because of you and that my life may be spared on your account.” 14When Abram entered Egypt the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful. 15#Gen 20.2When the officials of Pharaoh saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house. 16#Gen 20.14And for her sake he dealt well with Abram, and he had sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male and female slaves, female donkeys, and camels.

17 # Gen 20.18; 1 Chr 16.21; Ps 105.14 But the Lord afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife. 18#Gen 20.9, 10So Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife? 19Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her for my wife? Now then, here is your wife, take her, and be gone.” 20#Prov 21.1And Pharaoh gave his men orders concerning him, and they set him on the way with his wife and all that he had.
