Genesis 12
12
The Call of Abram
1Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country, your family, and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. # Ge 15:7; Heb 11:8
2I will make of you a great nation;
I will bless you
and make your name great,
so that you will be a blessing. # Ge 15:5; 18:18; Dt 26:5
3I will bless those who bless you
and curse him who curses you, # Ge 27:29 # 12:3 Or treats you lightly.
and in you all families of the earth
will be blessed.” # Ge 22:18; 26:4
4So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Harran. # Ge 11:31 5Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had accumulated, and the people that they had acquired in Harran, # Ge 14:14 and they set out for the land of Canaan. They came to the land of Canaan. # Ge 11:31
6Then Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. # Ge 35:4; Dt 11:30 The Canaanites were in the land at that time. # Ge 13:7 7The Lord appeared to Abram # Ge 17:1 and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” # Ge 13:15 So he built an altar to the Lord, # Ge 13:4 who had appeared to him.
8From there he continued on to a mountain to the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord. # Ge 4:26 9Then Abram continued his journey toward the Negev. # Ge 13:3; 24:62
Abram in Egypt
Ge 20:1–18; 26:1–11
10Now there was a famine in the land, # Ge 43:1 so Abram went down to Egypt to live there, for the famine was severe in the land. 11When he was getting near to Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “I know you are a beautiful woman. # Ge 26:7; 29:17; Est 2:7 12Therefore, when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ They will then kill me, but they will let you live. # Ge 20:11; 26:7 13Say you are my sister so that I may be treated well for your sake. Then my life will be spared because of you.” # Ge 20:2
14So when Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that Sarai was very beautiful. 15The princes of Pharaoh saw her and commended her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into Pharaoh’s house. 16He treated Abram well for her sake, and he had sheep and livestock, male and female donkeys, male and female servants, and camels. # Ge 13:2; 20:14
17But the Lord afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Abram’s wife, Sarai. # Ge 20:18; 1Ch 16:21 18So Pharaoh called Abram, and said, “What have you done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife? # Ge 20:9–10 19Why did you say, ‘She is my sister’? I might have taken her as my wife. Now here is your wife; take her and leave.” 20Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him, and they sent him away with his wife and all that he had.
