12 And Jehovah said to Aʹbram: “Go out from your land and away from your relatives and from the house of your father to the land that I will show you.+ 2 I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you, and I will make your name great, and you will become a blessing.+ 3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who calls down evil on you,+ and all the families of the ground will certainly be blessed* by means of you.”+

15 And Jehovah’s angel called to Abraham a second time from the heavens,

17 I will surely bless you and I will surely multiply your offspring* like the stars of the heavens and like the grains of sand on the seashore,+ and your offspring* will take possession of the gate* of his enemies.+

29 Happy you are, O Israel!+
