2  And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father ^aAbraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,

  3  Now the Lord had ^asaid unto me: Abraham, get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will show thee.

  7  Thou art the Lord the God, who didst choose ^aAbram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;

  8  By faith ^aAbraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

  13  And it came to pass, when God caused me to ^awander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.

  2  And it came to pass that the Lord commanded my father, even in a dream, that he should ^ctake his family and depart into the wilderness.

  42  And when thou hast done this thou shalt ^ago at the head of them down into the valley which is northward. And there will I meet thee, and I will go before thee into a land which is choice above all the lands of the earth.

  3  Now the Lord had ^asaid unto me: Abraham, get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will show thee.

  2  Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him ^calone, and blessed him, and increased him.

  16  And his voice was unto me: Abraham, Abraham, behold, my name is Jehovah, and I have heard thee, and have come down to deliver thee, and to take thee away from thy ^cfather's house, and from all thy kinsfolk, into a strange land which thou knowest not of;

  5  My ^afathers, having turned from their righteousness, and from the holy commandments which the Lord their God had given unto them, unto the worshiping of the gods of the heathen, utterly refused to hearken to my voice;

  7  The Lord God of heaven, which took me from my ^bfather's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
