Abram's calling

God "appeared" to Abram and told him to "depart". After settling in Haran, where his father Terah died, God then told Abram to "go" from his country and his father’s house for a land that He would show him, promising to make of him "a great nation", bless him, make his name great, bless those who blessed him, and curse those who cursed him. (Genesis 12:1–3) Following God’s command, at age 75, Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, and the wealth and persons that they had acquired, and traveled to Shechem in Canaan.
[edit]The Covenant between Abraham and God
There God appeared to Abram to tell him that he would give the land to his heirs, and Abram built an altar to God. Abram then moved to the hill country east of Bethel and built an altar to God there and invoked God by name, and journeyed toward the Negeb (the south).
