Gen. 12:1-3

[1]Now the LORD said to Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you.

[2] And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.

[3] I will bless those who bless you, and him who curses you I will curse; and by you all the families of the earth shall bless themselves."
