[1] Now the LORD had said unto Abram, of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: [2] And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: [3] And I will bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
