12:1 Now the
“Go out 3 from your country, your relatives, and your father’s household
to the land that I will show you. 4

and I will make your name great, 7
so that you will exemplify divine blessing. 8
12:3 I will bless those who bless you, 9
but the one who treats you lightly 10 I must curse,
and all the families of the earth will bless one another 11 by your name.”
26:3 Stay 1 in this land. Then I will be with you and will bless you, 2 for I will give all these lands to you and to your descendants, 3 and I will fulfill 4 the solemn promise I made 5 to your father Abraham. 26:4 I will multiply your descendants so they will be as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give them 6 all these lands. All the nations of the earth will pronounce blessings on one another using the name of your descendants. 7 26:5 All this will come to pass 8 because Abraham obeyed me 9 and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.” 10
