Then the LORD said to Abram , “ Leave country , your kindred , and your father’s household , and go to the land - I will show you.
| LXX |
I will make you into a great nation , and I will bless you ; I will make your name great , so that you will be a blessing.
| LXX |
I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you ; and all the families of the earth will be blessed
| LXX |
So Abram departed , as the LORD had directed him , ... and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five ... years old ... when he left Haran.
| LXX |
And Abram took - his wife - Sarai , his nephew ... - Lot , and all the possessions - - - and people - they had acquired in Haran , and set out ... for the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan ,
| LXX |
Abram traveled through the land as far as the site - of the Oak of Moreh at Shechem. And at that time the Canaanites were in the land.
| LXX |
Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said , “ I will give - this land to your offspring. ” So (Abram) built an altar there to the LORD , who had appeared to him.
| LXX |
From there (Abram) moved on to the hill country east of Bethel and pitched his tent , with Bethel ... to the west and Ai to the east. There he built an altar to the LORD , and he called on the name of the LORD.
| LXX |
And Abram journeyed on ... toward the Negev.
| LXX |
Now there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a while because the famine - was severe.
| LXX |
- As he was about to enter Egypt , he said to his wife Sarai , “ Look , ... I know that you (are) a beautiful ... woman ,
| LXX |
and when the Egyptians see you , - they will say , ‘ This is his wife. ’ Then they will kill me but will let you live.
| LXX |
Please say you are my sister , so that I will be treated well for your sake , and on account of you my life will be spared. ”
| LXX |
So when Abram entered Egypt , the Egyptians - saw that the woman was very beautiful. ...
| LXX |
When Pharaoh’s officials saw (Sarai) , they commended her to (him) , and she was taken into the palace of Pharaoh.
| LXX |
He treated Abram well on her account , and Abram acquired sheep and cattle , male and female donkeys ... , menservants and maidservants , and camels.
| LXX |
The LORD, however , - afflicted Pharaoh and his household with severe - plagues because of ... Abram’s wife Sarai.
| LXX |
So Pharaoh summoned Abram and asked , “ What ... have you done Why didn’t you tell - she was your wife ?
| LXX |
Why did you say , ‘ She is my sister , ’ so that I took her wife ? Now then , here is your wife. Take her and go ! ”
| LXX |
Then Pharaoh gave his men orders concerning (Abram) , and they sent him away ... - with his wife - and all his possessions -
