Now the LORD said to Abram, “Leave your country, and your relatives, and your father’s house, and go to the land that I will show you. Heb 11:8Act 7:2-6Neh 9:7Isa 51:2Jos 24:2-3Gen 11:31-32Luk 14:26-33Gen 15:7 I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing. 2Sa 7:9Gal 3:14Gen 18:18Gen 17:4-6Gen 28:3-4Gen 35:11Gen 46:3Gen 26:4 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who treats you with contempt. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.” Gal 3:8Gen 22:18Act 3:25-26Gen 27:29Num 24:9Gen 26:4Gen 28:14Gen 18:18
So Abram went, as the LORD had told him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. Heb 11:8Gen 11:31Gen 11:27 Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother’s son, all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they went to go into the land of Canaan. They entered into the land of Canaan. Gen 14:14Gen 11:31Act 7:4Heb 11:8-9Gen 10:19Gen 14:21Gen 46:5-26 Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time, Canaanites were in the land. Deu 11:30Heb 11:9Gen 13:7Gen 35:4Gen 10:18-19Gen 15:18-21Jdg 7:11Ki 12:1
The LORD appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.” 1 Gen 17:8Gen 13:15Gen 17:1Gal 3:16Gen 18:1Gen 13:4Psa 105:9-12Gen 13:18
He built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him. He left from there to go to the mountain on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the LORD 2 and called on the LORD’s name. Gen 4:26Neh 11:31Gen 21:331Co 1:2Gen 13:4Gen 28:19Act 2:21Gen 35:15-16 Abram traveled, still going on toward the South. Gen 13:3Gen 13:1Gen 24:62Heb 11:13-14Psa 105:13
There was a famine in the land. Abram went down into Egypt to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe in the land. Gen 43:1Gen 26:1-31Ki 17:1-182Ki 4:382Ki 6:252Ki 7:1-82Ki 8:1-22Sa 21:1 When he had come near to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look at. Gen 26:7Gen 12:14Gen 29:17Pro 21:302Sa 11:2Gen 39:6-7Sng 1:14 It will happen that when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ They will kill me, but they will save you alive. Gen 20:11Gen 26:71Jn 1:8-10Mat 10:28Pro 29:251Sa 27:1 Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that my soul may live because of you.” Gen 26:7Gen 20:12-13Gen 20:2Gen 20:5Ezk 18:4Jer 17:5-8Gen 11:29Isa 57:11
When Abram had come into Egypt, some Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful. Gen 3:6Gen 39:7Gen 6:2Mat 5:28 The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house. Gen 20:21Ki 3:12Ki 18:21Est 2:2-16Exo 2:15Exo 2:5Gen 40:2Gen 41:1 He dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels. Gen 20:14Gen 13:2Gen 24:35Gen 26:14Gen 32:13-15Gen 32:5Job 1:3Job 42:12 The LORD afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife. 1Ch 16:21Gen 20:18Psa 105:14-151Ch 21:22Heb 13:4Job 34:19 Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why didn’t you tell me that she was your wife? Gen 20:9-10Gen 26:9-111Sa 14:43Pro 21:1Exo 32:21Gen 3:13Gen 31:26Gen 4:10 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, see your wife, take her, and go your way.”
Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they escorted him away with his wife and all that he had. Pro 21:1Psa 105:14-151Sa 29:6-11Exo 18:27
