Genesis 12:3 in Context — Genesis 12

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.

4 Abram partit, comme l’Éternel le lui avait dit, et Lot partit avec lui. Abram était âgé de soixante-quinze ans, lorsqu’il sortit de Charan.

5 Abram prit Saraï, sa femme, et Lot, fils de son frère, avec tous les biens qu’ils possédaient et les serviteurs qu’ils avaient acquis à Charan. Ils partirent pour aller dans le pays de Canaan, et ils arrivèrent au pays de Canaan.
