And Jehovah saith unto Abram, `Go for thyself, from thy land, and from thy kindred, and from the house of thy father, unto the land which I shew thee. And I make thee become a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing. And I bless those blessing thee, and him who is disesteeming thee I curse, and blessed in thee have been all families of the ground.'
Genesis 12:1 And Jehovah saith unto Abram, `Go for thyself, from thy land, and from thy kindred, and from the house of thy father, unto the land which I shew thee.
Genesis 12:2 And I make thee become a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing.
Genesis 12:3 And I bless those blessing thee, and him who is disesteeming thee I curse, and blessed in thee have been all families of the ground.'
Genesis 12:4 And Abram goeth on, as Jehovah hath spoken unto him, and Lot goeth with him, and Abram <FI>is<Fi> a son of five and seventy years in his going out from Charan.
Genesis 12:5 And Abram taketh Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they have gained, and the persons that they have obtained in Charan; and they go out to go towards the land of Canaan; and they come in to the land of Canaan.
The verse centers on "jehovah", "saith", "abram", "thyself", "land", "kindred", "house", and "father". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "jehovah" and "saith", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The next verse adds "And Abram goeth on as Jehovah hath...", so "jehovah" and "saith" should be read forward into that movement. In Genesis context, the local focus is creation, human rebellion, covenant promise, and God's providence.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "jehovah" and "saith" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
