AND Terach took his son Avram and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and Sarai his daughter in law, the woman of his son Avram, and all the souls of his household and went with them from Ur Kasdiym to go to the land of Kena`an. And when they came as far as the land of Haran they remained there, for it was exceedingly good land for pasture, and of sufficient extent for those who accompanied them.
And the people of the land of Haran saw that Avram was good and upright with Elohiym and men, and that Yahuah Elohayu was with him, and some of the people of the land of Haran came and joined Avram, and he taught them the instruction of Yahuah and his ways; and these men remained with Avram in his house and they adhered to him.
And Avram remained in the land three years, and at the expiration of three years Yahuah appeared to Avram and said to him; I am Yahuah who brought you forth from Ur Kasdiym, and delivered you from the hands of all your enemies.
And now therefore if you will hearken to my voice and guard my commandments, my statutes and my Torah, then will I cause your enemies to fall before you, and I will multiply your seed like the stars of heaven, and I will send my blessing upon all the works of your hands, and you shall lack nothing.
Arise now, take your woman and all belonging to you and go to the land of Kena`an and remain there, and I will there be unto you for an Elohiym, and I will bless you. And Avram rose and took his woman and all belonging to him, and he went to the land of Kena`an as Yahuah had told him; and Avram was fifty years old when he went from Haran.
And Avram came to the land of Kena`an and dwelt in the midst of the city, and he there pitched his tent amongst the children of Kena`an, inhabitants of the land.
And Yahuah appeared to Avram when he came to the land of Kena`an, and said to him, This is the land which I gave unto you and to your seed after you forever, and I will make your seed like the stars of heaven, and I will give unto your seed for an inheritance all the lands which you see.
And Avram built an altar in the place where Elohiym had spoken to him, and Avram there called upon the name of Yahuah.
At that time, at the end of three years of Avram's dwelling in the land of Kena`an, in that year Noach died, which was the fifty eighth year of the life of Avram; and all the days that Noach lived were nine hundred and fifty years and he died.
And Avram dwelt in the land of Kena`an, he, his woman, and all belonging to him, and all those that accompanied him, together with those that joined him from the people of the land; but Nachor, Avram's brother, and Terach his father, and Lot the son of Haran and all belonging to them dwelt in Haran.
In the fifth year of Avram's dwelling in the land of Kena`an the people of Cedom and Amorah and all the cities of the circle of the Yardan revolted from the power of Kedorla`omer, king of Eylam; for all the kings of the cities of the circle of the Yardan had served Kedorla`omer for twelve years, and given him a yearly tax, but in those days in the thirteenth year, they rebelled against him.
And in the tenth year of Avram's dwelling in the land of Kena`an there was war between Nimrod king of Shin`ar and Kedorla`omer king of Eylam, and Nimrod came to fight with Kedorla`omer and to subdue him.
For Kedorla`omer was at that time one of the princes of the hosts of Nimrod, and when all the people at the tower were dispersed and those that remained were also scattered upon the face of the earth, Kedorla`omer went to the land of Eylam and reigned over it and rebelled against his adoniy.
And in those days when Nimrod saw that the cities of the circle of the Yardan had rebelled, he came with pride and anger to war with Kedorla'omer, and Nimrod assembled all his princes and subjects, about seven hundred thousand men, and went against Kedorla'omer, and Kedorla'omer went out to meet him with five thousand men, and they prepared for battle in the valley of Babel which is between Eylam and Shin'ar.
And all those kings fought there, and Nimrod and his people were smitten before the people of Kedorla'omer, and there fell from Nimrod's men about six hundred thousand, and Mardon the king's son fell amongst them.
And Nimrod fled and returned in shame and disgrace to his land, and he was under subjection to Kedorla'omer for a long time, and Kedorla'omer returned to his land and sent princes of his host to the kings that dwelt around him, to Aryok king of Ellacar, and to Tid'al king of Nations, and cut a covenant with them, and they were all obedient to his commands.
And it was in the fifteenth year of Avram's dwelling in the land of Kena`an, which is the seventieth year of the life of Avram, and Yahuah appeared to Avram in that year and he said to him, I am Yahuah who brought you out from Ur Kasdiym to give you this land for an inheritance.
Now therefore walk before me and be perfect and guard my commands, for to you and to your seed I will give this land for an inheritance, from the river Mitsrayim unto the great river Perath.
And you shall come to your fathers in peace and in good age, and the fourth generation shall return here in this land and shall inherit it forever; and Avram built an altar, and he called upon the name of Yahuah who appeared to him, and he brought up sacrifices upon the altar to Yahuah.
At that time Avram returned and went to Haran to see his father and mother, and his father's household, and Avram and his woman and all belonging to him returned to Haran, and Avram dwelt in Haran five years.
And many of the people of Haran, about seventy two men, followed Avram and Avram taught them the instruction of Yahuah and his ways, and he taught them to know Yahuah.
In those days Yahuah appeared to Avram in Haran, and he said to him, Behold, I spoke unto you these twenty years back saying,
Go forth from your land, from your birth place and from your father's house, to the land which I have shown you to give it to you and to your children, for there in that land will I bless you, and make you a great nation, and make your name great, and in you shall the families of the earth be blessed.
Now therefore arise, go forth from this place, you, your woman, and all belonging to you, also everyone born in your house and all the souls you have made in Haran, and bring them out with you from here, and rise to return to the land of Kena`an.
And Avram arose and took his woman Sarai and all belonging to him and all that were born to him in his house and the souls which they had made in Haran, and they came out to go to the land of Kena`an.
And Avram went and returned to the land of Kena`an, according to the Word of Yahuah. And Lot the son of his brother Haran went with him, and Avram was seventy five years old when he went forth from Haran to return to the land of Kena`an.
And he came to the land of Kena`an according to the Word of Yahuah to Avram, and he pitched his tent and he dwelt in the plain of Mamre, and with him was Lot his brother's son, and all belonging to him.
And Yahuah again appeared to Avram and said, To your seed will I give this land; and he there built an altar to Yahuah who appeared to him, which is still to this day in the plains of Mamre.
