[11:18] Peleg lived thirty years, and became the father of Reu. [11:19] Peleg lived two hundred nine years after he became the father of Reu, and became the father of sons and daughters.
[11:20] Reu lived thirty-two years, and became the father of Serug. [11:21] Reu lived two hundred seven years after he became the father of Serug, and became the father of sons and daughters.
[11:22] Serug lived thirty years, and became the father of Nahor. [11:23] Serug lived two hundred years after he became the father of Nahor, and became the father of sons and daughters.
[11:24] Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and became the father of Terah. [11:25] Nahor lived one hundred nineteen years after he became the father of Terah, and became the father of sons and daughters.
[11:26] Terah lived seventy years, and became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
[11:27] Now this is the history of the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran became the father of Lot. [11:28] Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees. [11:29] Abram and Nahor took wives. The name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran who was also the father of Iscah. [11:30] Sarai was barren. She had no child. [11:31] Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife. They went forth from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan. They came to Haran and lived there. [11:32] The days of Terah were two hundred five years. Terah died in Haran.
[12:1] Now Yahweh said to Abram, "Get out of your country, and from your relatives, and from your father's house, to the land that I will show you. [12:2] I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing. [12:3] I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. In you will all of the families of the earth be blessed."
[12:4] So Abram went, as Yahweh had spoken to him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran. [12:5] Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother's son, all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls whom they had gotten in Haran, and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan. Into the land of Canaan they came. [12:6] Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. The Canaanite was then in the land.
[12:7] Yahweh appeared to Abram and said, "I will give this land to your [seed]."
He built an altar there to Yahweh, who appeared to him. [12:8] He left from there 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 Yahweh and called on the name of Yahweh. [12:9] Abram traveled, going on still toward the South.
