"The Lord had said to Abram, 'Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.
"‘I will make you into a great nation,
"and I will bless you;
"will make your name great,
"and you will be a blessing.
"I will bless those who bless you,
"and whoever curses you I will curse;
"and all peoples on earth
"will be blessed through you.'"
