1 L’Éternel dit à Abram: Vat’en de ton pays, de ta patrie, et de la maison de ton père, dans le pays que je te montrerai.

2 Je ferai de toi une grande nation, et je te bénirai; je rendrai ton nom grand, et tu seras une source de bénédiction.

3 Je bénirai ceux qui te béniront, et je maudirai ceux qui te maudiront; et toutes les familles de la terre seront bénies en toi.
