Kej 12:1 Berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Abram: "Pergilah dari negerimu dan dari sanak saudaramu dan dari rumah bapamu ini ke negeri yang akan Kutunjukkan kepadamu;
Kej 12:2 Aku akan membuat engkau menjadi bangsa yang besar, dan memberkati engkau serta membuat namamu masyhur; dan engkau akan menjadi berkat.
Kej 12:3 Aku akan memberkati orang-orang yang memberkati engkau, dan mengutuk orang-orang yang mengutuk engkau, dan olehmu semua kaum di muka bumi akan mendapat berkat."
Kej 12:4 Lalu pergilah Abram seperti yang difirmankan TUHAN kepadanya, dan Lotpun ikut bersama-sama dengan dia; Abram berumur tujuh puluh lima tahun, ketika ia berangkat dari Haran.
Kej 12:5 Abram membawa Sarai, isterinya, dan Lot, anak saudaranya, dan segala harta benda yang didapat mereka dan orang-orang yang diperoleh mereka di Haran; mereka berangkat ke tanah Kanaan, lalu sampai di situ.
Kej 12:6 Abram berjalan melalui negeri itu sampai ke suatu tempat dekat Sikhem, yakni pohon tarbantin di More. Waktu itu orang Kanaan diam di negeri itu.
Kej 12:7 Ketika itu TUHAN menampakkan diri kepada Abram dan berfirman: "Aku akan memberikan negeri ini kepada keturunanmu." Maka didirikannya di situ mezbah bagi TUHAN yang telah menampakkan diri kepadanya.
Kej 12:8 Kemudian ia pindah dari situ ke pegunungan di sebelah timur Betel. Ia memasang kemahnya dengan Betel di sebelah barat dan Ai di sebelah timur, lalu ia mendirikan di situ mezbah bagi TUHAN dan memanggil nama TUHAN.
Kej 12:9 Sesudah itu Abram berangkat dan makin jauh ia berjalan ke Tanah Negeb.
Abram di Mesir
Kej 12:10 Ketika kelaparan timbul di negeri itu, pergilah Abram ke Mesir untuk tinggal di situ sebagai orang asing, sebab hebat kelaparan di negeri itu.
Kej 12:11 Pada waktu ia akan masuk ke Mesir, berkatalah ia kepada Sarai, isterinya: "Memang aku tahu, bahwa engkau adalah seorang perempuan yang cantik parasnya.
Kej 12:12 Apabila orang Mesir melihat engkau, mereka akan berkata: Itu isterinya. Jadi mereka akan membunuh aku dan membiarkan engkau hidup.
Kej 12:13 Katakanlah, bahwa engkau adikku, supaya aku diperlakukan mereka dengan baik karena engkau, dan aku dibiarkan hidup oleh sebab engkau."
Kej 12:14 Sesudah Abram masuk ke Mesir, orang Mesir itu melihat, bahwa perempuan itu sangat cantik,
Kej 12:15 dan ketika punggawa-punggawa Firaun melihat Sarai, mereka memuji-mujinya di hadapan Firaun, sehingga perempuan itu dibawa ke istananya.
Kej 12:16 Firaun menyambut Abram dengan baik-baik, karena ia mengingini perempuan itu, dan Abram mendapat kambing domba, lembu sapi, keledai jantan, budak laki-laki dan perempuan, keledai betina dan unta.
Kej 12:17 Tetapi TUHAN menimpakan tulah yang hebat kepada Firaun, demikian juga kepada seisi istananya, karena Sarai, isteri Abram itu.
Kej 12:18 Lalu Firaun memanggil Abram serta berkata: "Apakah yang kauperbuat ini terhadap aku? Mengapa tidak kauberitahukan, bahwa ia isterimu?
Kej 12:19 Mengapa engkau katakan: dia adikku, sehingga aku mengambilnya menjadi isteriku? Sekarang, inilah isterimu, ambillah dan pergilah!"
Kej 12:20 Lalu Firaun memerintahkan beberapa orang untuk mengantarkan Abram pergi, bersama-sama dengan isterinya dan segala kepunyaannya.
Gen 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will show thee:
Gen 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
Gen 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Gen 12:4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
Gen 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.
Gen 12:6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
Gen 12:7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.
Gen 12:8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.
Gen 12:9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
Gen 12:10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
Gen 12:11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:
Gen 12:12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
Gen 12:13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
Gen 12:14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
Gen 12:15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
Gen 12:16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.
Gen 12:17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
Gen 12:18 And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
Gen 12:19 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
Gen 12:20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
