1 Now ^mthe Lord said¹ to Abram, “Go from your country² and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. 2 ⁿAnd I 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 ^oI will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and ^pin you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”³

4 “Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be ^qthe father of a multitude of nations. 5 No longer shall your name be called Abram,¹ but ^ryour name shall be Abraham,^{2 s}for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.

18 and ^win your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, ^xbecause you have obeyed my voice.”
