Genesis 12:3 in Context — Genesis 12

1 O SENHOR disse a Abrão: “Sai da tua terra, e da tua parentela, e da casa de teu pai, para terra que eu te mostrarei.

2 E farei de ti uma grande nação, e te abençoarei, e engrandecerei o teu nome, e tu serás uma bênção.

3 E abençoarei os que te abençoarem, e amaldiçoarei os que te amaldiçoarem; e em ti todas as famílias da terra serão benditas.”

4 Assim se foi Abrão, como o SENHOR lhe dissera; e Ló foi com ele. Abrão tinha setenta e cinco anos de idade quando saiu de Harã.

5 E Abrão tomou a Sarai, sua mulher, e a Ló, filho de seu irmão, e todos os seus pertences que haviam ganhado, e as pessoas que eles haviam adquirido em Harã, e saíram para ir à terra de Canaã; e à terra de Canaã chegaram.
