Gen. 11:32      Gen. 12:2

Genesis 12:1

Now the Lord (Yahweh) said to Abram,
"Go forth (Hebr. lech lecha)
from your country [Haran in Mesopotamia]
and from your kindred (hometown)
and from your father's house [Terah and his family, see Gen. 11:31–32]
to the land I will show you.
[Leaving everything and following God required faith, see Heb. 11:8–10. The Hebrew expression lech lecha also has the meaning of "going to oneself," i.e., finding oneself in the process. The word family (Hebr. moledet) means not only family but also "the place of your birth" and "origin." It refers to a longer history than just your own lifetime. Jesus uses a similar phrase when he calls, see Matt. 10:37. The phrase "from" is repeated three times, followed by three promises: a new land, a new people, and blessings for both himself and others.]
