A great promise that brought blessing:
"Leave your land, your relatives and your father's house, and go to the land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name famous, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and I will curse those who curse you; Through you all the families of the earth will be blessed! "(Genesis 12: 1-3, NIV).
