••• You should recognize and know "and use" God's Hebrew Name! It is יהוה and sounds like
to English speakers... God Himself wrote with his own finger on stone tablets He then gave to Moses. (Exo 31:18) Using the Diving Name of our Creator is a uniting force in this divided world! •••
Genesis 12:1-7 GNB The LORD (יהוה) said to Abram, "Leave your country, your relatives, and your father's home, and go to a land that I am going to show you. (2) I will give you many descendants, and they will become a great nation. I will bless you and make your name famous, so that you will be a blessing. (3) I will bless those who bless you, But I will curse those who curse you. And through you I will bless all the nations." (4) When Abram was seventy-five years old, he started out from Haran, as the LORD (יהוה) had told him to do; and Lot went with him. (5) Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, and all the wealth and all the slaves they had acquired in Haran, and they started out for the land of Canaan. When they arrived in Canaan, (6) Abram traveled through the land until he came to the sacred tree of Moreh, the holy place at Shechem. (At that time the Canaanites were still living in the land.) (7) The LORD (יהוה) appeared to Abram and said to him, "This is the country that I am going to give to your descendants." Then Abram built an altar there to the LORD (יהוה), who had appeared to him.
Genesis 12:1-7 LITV And Jehovah (יהוה) had said to Abram, Go out from your land and from your kindred, and from your father's house, to the land which I will show you. (2) And I will make of you a great nation. And I will bless you and make your name great; and you will be a blessing. (3) And I will bless those who bless you, and curse the one despising you. And in you all families of the earth shall be blessed. (4) And Abram went out, even as Jehovah (יהוה) had spoken to him. And Lot went with him. And Abram was a son of seventy five years when he went out from Haran. (5) And Abram took his wife Sarai, and his brother's son, Lot, and all their substance that they had gained, and the persons they had gotten in Haran. And they went out to go into the land of Canaan. And they came into the land of Canaan. (6) And Abram passed through the land as far as the place of Shechem, to the Oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. (7) And Jehovah (יהוה) appeared to Abram and said, I will give this land to your seed. And he built an altar there to Jehovah (יהוה), who appeared to him.
Genesis 12:1-7 CEV The LORD (יהוה) said to Abram: Leave your country, your family, and your relatives and go to the land that I will show you. (2) I will bless you and make your descendants into a great nation. You will become famous and be a blessing to others. (3) I will bless anyone who blesses you, but I will put a curse on anyone who puts a curse on you. Everyone on earth will be blessed because of you. (4) Abram was seventy-five years old when the LORD (יהוה) told him to leave the city of Haran. He obeyed and left with his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, and all the possessions and slaves they had gotten while in Haran. When they came to the land of Canaan, (5) (SEE 12:4) (6) Abram went as far as the sacred tree of Moreh in a place called Shechem. The Canaanites were still living in the land at that time, (7) but the LORD (יהוה) appeared to Abram and promised, "I will give this land to your family forever." Abram then built an altar there for the LORD (יהוה).
Genesis 12:1-7 ASV Now Jehovah (יהוה) said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto the land that I will show thee: (2) and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing; (3) and I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse: and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed. (4) So Abram went, as Jehovah (יהוה) had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. (5) And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came. (6) And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Shechem, unto the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. (7) And Jehovah (יהוה) appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto Jehovah (יהוה), who appeared unto him.
