Gn 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: 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: 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. 4 So Abram departed, as the LORD 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 Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. 7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him. 8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD. 9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south. 10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land. 11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon: 12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive. 13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee. 14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. 15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house. 16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels. 17 And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife. 18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife? 19 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way. 20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.

Gn 12,1-3 - Ťažko rozhodnúť, či povolanie, ktoré sa popisuje v týchto veršoch, stalo sa v Harane alebo už v Ure. Podľa Sk 7,2 tieto slová povedal Boh Abramovi v Ure; v našom kontexte skorej patria do času, keď Abram už bol v Harane a keď mu už otec zomrel. Vec možno chápať aj tak, že svätopisec najprv dokončil rozpravu o ceste a potom uvádza slová povolania, ale nemožno vylúčiť ani opakovanie povolania Abrama: prvý raz v Ure a druhý raz v Harane.Pre Abrama a jeho rodinu nebolo ľahko opustiť vlastnú krajinu. Má ísť do neznámej krajiny, do krajiny, ktorá nebude hneď jeho, ale len v neskorších pokoleniach. Má teda zameniť isté za neisté a neznáme. V jeho poslušnosti možno vidieť živú vieru v slová Božie (Hebr 11,8). "V tebe budú požehnané všetky pokolenia zeme" porov. Gn 22,18; Gal 3,6-18.

Gn 12,4-7 - Abram odišiel aj z Haranu. Karavána tiahla od severovýchodu k Damasku a odtiaľ popri Genezaretskom jazere na juh k Sichemu. Terebint Moreho – dub vidiaceho alebo veštca. Pravdepodobne pod týmto košatým terebintom bolo nejaké bohoslužobné miesto kanaánskych modloslužobníkov. Vari z pohybu listov a ich šumotu vyvodzoval budúce príbehy. Je známe, že v Kanaáne bolo veľa posvätných stromov, celé háje. Izraeliti ich pálili, ale zavše aj oni odpadli k modloslužbe a uctievali v týchto hájoch Bála a Aštartu.

Gn 12,8-9 - Od Sichemu tiahol Abram na juh. Betel sa v časoch Abramových volal Luza; tu sa uvádza pod známejším menom z časov Jakubových (Gn 28,19). Negeb, južný kraj alebo juh, je vlastným pomenovaním najjužnejšej čiastky Palestíny.

Gn 12,13 - Abram zamlčal, že Sára je jeho ženou. Hovoril však aj pravdu, keď vravel, že je jeho sestrou (20,12), a konal podľa stupňa morálky svojho veku, keď svedomie neodsudzovalo každú lož a keď sa život muža hodnotil viac ako česť ženy. Svä topiscovi tu záleží hlavne na tom, aby ukázal, ako Boh uchránil čistotu matky budúceho vyvoleného národa.
