耶和華對亞伯蘭說:“你要離開本地、本族怔鳖、父家朴沿,往我所要指示你的地去。 我必叫你成為大國败砂。我必賜福給你赌渣,叫你的名為大;你也要叫別人得福昌犹。 為你祝福的坚芜,我必賜福與他;那咒詛你的斜姥,我必咒詛他鸿竖。地上的萬族都要因你得福≈簦” (創(chuàng)世記 12:1-3 和合本)<br>The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” (Genesis 12:1-3 NIV)
