And he said Yahweh to Abram go for yourself from land your and from kindred your and from [the] household of father your to the land which I will show you.
2 And I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you and magnify your name, and you shall be blessed.
So I may make you into a nation great and I will bless you and I will make great name your and you be a blessing.
3 And I will bless those that bless you, and curse those that curse you, and in you shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed.
So let me bless [those who] bless you and [one who] disdains you I will curse and they will be blessed by you all [the] clans of the earth.
