Commentary on Genesis John Calvin
Chapter 12
Genesis 12:1-20
1. Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
1. Dixerat autem Jehova ad Abram, Abi e terra tua, et e cognatione tua, et e domo patris tui, ad terram quam ostendam tibi.
2. And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
2. Et faciam to in gentem magnam, et benedicam tibi, et magnificabo nomen tuum, et eris benedictio.
3. And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
3. Et benedicam benedicentibus tibi: et maledicentibus tibi maledicam: et benedicentur in to omnes familae terrae.
