The Lord said to Abram,
"Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you.
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.
I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse.
In you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."
Genesis12:1-3 (NRSv)
