11:13-12:5
[11:13] and Arpachshad lived after he begat Shelah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
[11:14] And Shelah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
[11:15] and Shelah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
[11:16] And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
[11:17] and Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
[11:18] And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
[11:19] and Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
[11:20] And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
[11:21] and Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
[11:22] And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
[11:23] and Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
[11:24] And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
[11:25] and Nahor lived after he begat Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
[11:26] And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
[11:27] Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
[11:28] And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
[11:29] And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
[11:30] And Sarai was barren; she had no child.
[11:31] And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
[11:32] And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
[12:1] Now Jehovah said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto the land that I will show thee:
[12:2] and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing:
[12:3] and I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse: and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
[12:4] So Abram went, as Jehovah had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
[12:5] And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
