1 EMPERO Jehová había dicho á Abram: Vete de tu tierra y de tu parentela, y de la casa de tu padre, á la tierra que te mostraré;

2 Y haré de ti una nación grande, y bendecirte he, y engrandeceré tu nombre, y serás bendición:

3 Y bendeciré á los que te bendijeren, y á los que te maldijeren maldeciré: y serán benditas en ti todas las familias de la tierra.

4 Y fuése Abram, como Jehová le dijo; y fué con él Lot: y era Abram de edad de setenta y cinco años cuando salió de Harán.

5 Y tomó Abram á Sarai su mujer, y á Lot hijo de su hermano, y toda su hacienda que habían ganado, y las almas que habían adquirido en Harán, y salieron para ir á tierra de Canaán; y á tierra de Canaán llegaron.

6 Y pasó Abram por aquella tierra hasta el lugar de Sichêm, hasta el valle de Moreh: y el Cananeo estaba entonces en la tierra.

7 Y apareció Jehová á Abram, y le dijo: A tu simiente daré esta tierra. Y edificó allí un altar á Jehová, que le había aparecido.

8 Y pasóse de allí á un monte al oriente de Bethel, y tendió su tienda, teniendo á Bethel al occidente y Hai al oriente: y edificó allí altar á Jehová é invocó el nombre de Jehová.

9 Y movió Abram de allí, caminando y yendo hacia el Mediodía.

10 Y hubo hambre en la tierra, y descendió Abram á Egipto para peregrinar allá; porque era grande el hambre en la tierra.

11 Y aconteció que cuando estaba para entrar en Egipto, dijo á Sarai su mujer: He aquí, ahora conozco que eres mujer hermosa de vista;

12 Y será que cuando te habrán visto los Egipcios, dirán: Su mujer es: y me matarán á mí, y á ti te reservarán la vida.

13 Ahora pues, di que eres mi hermana, para que yo haya bien por causa tuya, y viva mi alma por amor de ti.

14 Y aconteció que, como entró Abram en Egipto, los Egipcios vieron la mujer que era hermosa en gran manera.

15 Viéronla también los príncipes de Faraón, y se la alabaron; y fué llevada la mujer á casa de Faraón:

16 E hizo bien á Abram por causa de ella; y tuvo ovejas, y vacas, y asnos, y siervos, y criadas, y asnas y camellos.

17 Mas Jehová hirió á Faraón y á su casa con grandes plagas, por causa de Sarai mujer de Abram.

18 Entonces Faraón llamó á Abram y le dijo: ¿Qué es esto que has hecho conmigo? ¿Por qué no me declaraste que era tu mujer?

19 ¿Por qué dijiste: Es mi hermana? poniéndome en ocasión de tomarla para mí por mujer? Ahora pues, he aquí tu mujer, tómala y vete.

20 Entonces Faraón dió orden á sus gentes acerca de Abram; y le acompañaron, y á su mujer con todo lo que tenía.

1401. Genesis 12

1. And Jehovah said to Abram, Go away from your land, and from the place of your nativity and from your father's house, to the land which I will cause you to see.

2. And I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you, and I will make your name great; and you will be a blessing.

3. And I will bless those who bless you, and curse him who curses you, and in you will all the families of the ground be blessed.

4. And Abram went, as Jehovah had told him; and Lot went with him. And Abram was a son of seventy-five years when he went out of Haran.

5. And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their acquisitions that they had acquired, and [every] soul which they had gained in Haran. And they came out to go into the land of Canaan; and they came into the land of Canaan.

6. And Abram went through the land as far as the place of Shechem, as far as the oak-grove of Moreh. And the Canaanite was at that time in the land.

7. And Jehovah appeared to Abram and said, To your seed will I give this land; and there he built an altar to Jehovah who had appeared to him.

8. And he removed from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, Bethel being towards the sea and Ai towards the east. 1 And there he built an altar to Jehovah and called on the name of Jehovah.

9. And Abram travelled, going on and travelling, towards the south.

10. And there was a famine in the land; and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine in the land was serious.

11. And it happened, when he drew near to come into Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look upon.

12. And it will be, when the Egyptians see you they will say, This is his wife, and they will slay me and let you live.

13. Say, now, you are my sister, so that it may go well for me for your sake, and my soul may live because of you.

14. And it happened, when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians saw the woman, that she was very beautiful.

15. And Pharaoh's princes saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken to Pharaoh's house.

16. And he treated Abram well for her sake; and he had flocks and herds, and asses and menservants, and maidservants and she-asses, and camels.

17. And Jehovah struck Pharaoh with great plagues, and his house, because of Sarai, 2 Abram's wife.

18. And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she is your wife?

19. Why did you say, She is my sister? I might have taken her to be my wife (mulier). And now, behold your wife, take her and go.

20. And Pharaoh gave his men orders concerning him, and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.

CONTENTS

Narratives drawing on true history begin here, of which every detail is representative and each word carries a spiritual meaning. The things stated in this chapter regarding Abram represent the Lord's state from earliest childhood to youth. Since the Lord was born in the same way as any other, He also developed from a state that was obscure to one that had more light. 'Haran' is the first state, which is obscure; 'Shechem' is the second; 'the oak-grove of Moreh' is the third; 'the mount with Bethel on the west side, and Ai on the cast' is the fourth; 'from there towards the south into Egypt' is the fifth.

Fußnoten:

1. literally, Bethel from the sea (an idiom for from the west) and Ai from the east

2. literally, because of the word (or matter) of Sarai
