011:026 Terah lived seventy years, and became the father
of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
011:027 Now this is the history of the generations of Terah.
Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Haran became the father of Lot.
011:028 Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth,
in Ur of the Chaldees.
011:029 Abram and Nahor took wives. The name of Abram's wife was Sarai,
and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran
who was also the father of Iscah.
011:030 Sarai was barren. She had no child.
011:031 Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his son's son,
and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife. They went
forth from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan.
They came to Haran and lived there.
011:032 The days of Terah were two hundred five years.
Terah died in Haran.
012:001 Now Yahweh said to Abram, "Get out of your country,
and from your relatives, and from your father's house,
to the land that I will show you.
012:002 I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make
your name great. You will be a blessing.
012:003 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him
who curses you. In you will all of the families of the
earth be blessed."
012:004 So Abram went, as Yahweh had spoken to him. Lot went with him.
Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran.
012:005 Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother's son, all their substance
that they had gathered, and the souls whom they had gotten
in Haran, and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan.
Into the land of Canaan they came.
012:006 Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem,
to the oak of Moreh. The Canaanite was then in the land.
012:007 Yahweh appeared to Abram and said, "I will give this land to
your seed{or, offspring}." He built an altar there to Yahweh,
who appeared to him.
012:008 He left from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel,
and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai
on the east. There he built an altar to Yahweh and called
on the name of Yahweh.
012:009 Abram traveled, going on still toward the South.
012:010 There was a famine in the land. Abram went down into Egypt
to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe
in the land.
012:011 It happened, when he had come near to enter Egypt, that he said
to Sarai his wife, "See now, I know that you are a beautiful
woman to look at.
012:012 It will happen, when the Egyptians will see you, that they
will say, 'This is his wife.' They will kill me, but they
will save you alive.
012:013 Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me
for your sake, and that my soul may live because of you."
