Jehovah had said to Abraham: “Go your way out of your country and from your relatives and from the house of your father to the country that I shall show you; and I shall make a great nation out of you and I shall bless you and I will make your name great; and prove yourself a blessing.
Jehova Ābrahāmam bija teicis: ” Izej no savas zemes, no savas cilts un no savām tēva mājām uz zemi, kuŗu Es tev rādīšu. Un Es tevi darīšu par lielu tautu, Es tevi svētīšu un darīšu lielu tavu vārdu, un tu būsi par svētību.
