12:2 kyvt וַאֲבָ֣רֶכְךָ֔ 1 See how you translated “blessed” in [Genesis 1:22](../01/22.md), 28. It may be necessary to translate this term in different ways, depending on the context. Alternate translation: “and I will bless you and them” or “and I will cause you all to prosper”

12:3 yvsd rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy בְךָ֔ 1 This phrase refers to Abram and his descendants, including ultimately the Messiah. In other words, God’s promise in this verse is part of his wonderful news (the Gospel message) for all people (Galatians 3:8-9) and is a prophecy about the Messiah, who was one of Abraham’s descendants (Matthew 1:1, Genesis 22:18, Galatians 3:16). God blessed all people on earth by sending his Son Jesus (the Messiah) to die in their place and pay for all their sins (John 3:16-18, 1 Timothy 2:3-6), so that they could have a close relationship with him and be part of his family forever. God repeats this great promise in Genesis 18:18; 22:18; 26:4; 28:14. You could put some of that information in a footnote. Alternate translation: “Through you and your offspring” or “Because of you and your offspring” or “By means of you and your offspring”
|

For some languages it is clearer to change the order of the sentence and say, “I will use you and your offspring to bless all the families on the earth.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “all the families on the earth will be blessed by me” or “I will bless all the families on the earth”
|

12:4 b2v7 rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-words-phrases וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ אַבְרָ֗ם כַּאֲשֶׁ֨ר דִּבֶּ֤ר אֵלָיו֙ יְהוָ֔ה 1 Consider what is the best way in your language to begin this sentence to show that Abram is now doing what God just commanded him to do (verse 1). Alternate translation: “Then Abram left the city of Haran, just as Yahweh had told him to do” or “Then Abram did what Yahweh had told him to do and left the city of Haran”
|
||||
12:4 hh61 וַיֵּ֥לֶךְ אִתּ֖וֹ ל֑וֹט 1 Alternate translation: “and his nephew Lot went with him.”
|
||||
12:4 p63p rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-time-background וְאַבְרָ֗ם 1 Many translations omit the conjunction **And** or “Now” here. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “Now Abram” or **Abram**
|
||||
12:4 p5rf בֶּן 1 See how you translated a similar phrase in Gen 5:32 and 11:10. Alternate translation: “was seventy-five years old”.

|
||||
12:4 ln5h מֵחָרָֽן 1 Alternate translation: “from the city of Haran” or “from there”

||||
12:5 w44u rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-go וַיִּקַּ֣ח אַבְרָם֩ אֶת שָׂרַ֨י אִשְׁתּ֜וֹ 1 Be consistent here with how you spelled **Sarai** in [Genesis 11:29](../11/29.md)-31. Alternate translation: “Abram took with him his wife Sarai”
|
||||
12:5 t055 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit וְאֶת ל֣וֹט בֶּן אָחִ֗יו 1 For some languages it is more natural to make **son of his brother** or “his nephew” explicit in verse 4 (where Lot is first mentioned in this section) and leave it implied here in verse 5. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “and his deceased brother’s son Lot” or “and his nephew Lot”
|
||||
12:5 af34 וְאֶת כָּל רְכוּשָׁם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר רָכָ֔שׁוּ וְאֶת הַנֶּ֖פֶשׁ אֲשֶׁר עָשׂ֣וּ 1 The word **possessions** is general here and includes slaves, animals, furniture, clothes, and money. See how you translated “slave” or “servant” in [Gen 9:25](../09/25.md)-27. Alternate translation: “everything that they owned, including slaves and everything else they had acquired”

|
||||
12:6 ep53 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy וַיַּעֲבֹ֤ר אַבְרָם֙ 1 **Abram** is the only one named here because he is in focus. However, your translation should not sound like he traveled alone in verse 6. Also make sure that the way you begin this verse in your translation fits with the way you ended [verse 5](../12/05.md). Alternate translation: “Abram traveled” or “Abram and his family traveled” or “they traveled”
|
||||
12:6 o804 בָּאָ֔רֶץ 1 See how you translated **land** in [verse 5](../12/05.md). Alternate translation: “through that land”

|
||||
12:6 wf66 rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown עַ֖ד אֵל֣וֹן מוֹרֶ֑ה 1 Moreh is probably the name of the person who owned the land where the **terebinth tree** was. A terebinth tree is a large, broadleaf, flowering tree in the cashew family that can grow to a height of 5 to 12 meters (16 to 40 feet). The Hebrew words for “oak” and **terebinth** are similar, so many translations (including LXX) translate this as “oak tree” here. Notice, however, that oak trees and terebinth trees are from two different families of trees. Alternate translation: “to Moreh’s terebinth tree” or “to the terebinth tree on Moreh’s land”
|
||||
12:6 aje0 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-infostructure וְהַֽכְּנַעֲנִ֖י אָ֥ז בָּאָֽרֶץ 1 For some languages it is clearer and more natural to put the time phrase (**at that time**) first in this sentence. Alternate translation: “At that time the Canaanites were still living in that land”
|
||||
12:7 nqjy וַיֵּרָ֤א יְהוָה֙ אֶל אַבְרָ֔ם 1 Yahweh’s promise in verse 7 to give Canaan to Abram’s descendants contrasts with the fact that the Canaanites were still occupying that region ([verse 6](../12/06.md)). Also, notice that the text does not specify in what form or in what way God appeared to Abram, so your translation should not do that either. Alternate translation: “Then Yahweh came to Abram” or “but Yahweh visited Abram”
|
||||
12:7 nsz9 rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-quotations וַיֹּ֕אמֶר 1 Alternate translation: “and said to him”
|
||||
12:7 zfqw rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-infostructure לְזַ֨רְעֲךָ֔ אֶתֵּ֖ן אֶת הָאָ֣רֶץ הַזֹּ֑את 1 In the Hebrew text, the phrase **to your offspring** is emphasized by its position at the beginning of this quote. However, for some languages it may be clearer and more natural to change the order of the clauses and say, “I will give this land to your offspring.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “I will give this land to your offspring”
|
||||
12:7 ed0y rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-pronouns וַיִּ֤בֶן & מִזְבֵּ֔חַ 1 Consider what is the best way to refer to Abram here in your language.

||||
12:7 s3yo שָׁם֙ 1 Alternate translation: “near the tree” or “in that place”

||||
12:8 c1kt הָהָ֗רָה מִקֶּ֛דֶם לְבֵֽית אֵ֖ל 1 Alternate translation: “the hill country that was east of the town of Bethel” or “the mountainous region east of the town of Bethel”
|
||||
12:8 u3l7 וַיֵּ֣ט אָהֳלֹ֑ה 1 Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. See how you translated “tent” in [Gen 9:21](../09/21.md), 27. Alternate translation: “and set up his tents there” or “They set up their tents”.
|
||||
12:8 r71q בֵּֽית אֵ֤ל מִיָּם֙ וְהָעַ֣י מִקֶּ֔דֶם 1 Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “between Bethel to the west and the town of Ai to the east” or “Bethel was to the west of them and the town of Ai was to the east”
|

12:8 yv1t rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom וַיִּקְרָ֖א בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְהוָֽה 1 See how you translated a similar clause in [Gen 4:26](../04/26.md). Alternate translation: “and he worshiped Yahweh by name.” or “he addressed Yahweh by his name as he worshiped him” or “he used Yahweh’s name in his prayers and worship” or “he worshiped Yahweh”
|
||||
12:9 bv60 וַיִּסַּ֣ע אַבְרָ֔ם הָל֥וֹךְ וְנָס֖וֹעַ 1 Alternate translation: “After that, Abram and his family traveled in stages” or “Then Abram and his family moved from place to place”
|
||||
12:9 yypr rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-names הַנֶּֽגְבָּה 1 The Hebrew word **Negev** can mean “south” or “dry country,” so some translations translate the meaning. But most translations transliterate the Hebrew name (as **Negev** or “Negeb”) as they do with other names in the Bible. Alternate translation: “south toward the Negev Wilderness” or “southward until they reached the Negev Wilderness”
|
||||
12:10 glm2 וַיְהִ֥י 1 This clause gives the setting for the rest of the sentence. Translate this in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Now there was”
|
||||
12:10 eik8 רָעָ֖ב 1 A **famine** is a prolonged period of time when people are starving because crops are failing, often due to a lack of rain or other severe weather conditions. Alternate translation: “a serious shortage of food” or “a hungry time when food was very scarce”

|
||||
12:10 vjke rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-infostructure בָּאָֽרֶץ 1 For some languages it may be more natural to put this clause near the beginning of this verse and say, “Then there was a famine in that land that was so heavy that Abram and his family left there and went down to the land of Egypt to live for a while.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “in that land” or “in the Negev Wilderness so they could not survive there”

Also, the term **Pharaoh** is an Egyptian title that refers to the king or ruler over Egypt. However, in the Old Testament, it is treated as a name (that frequently occurs with the title “king of Egypt”), so translators often transliterate **Pharaoh** (which is how other names in the Bible are normally treated). Some languages require an honorific title with the names of kings, for example, “King Pharaoh”. Decide how you will handle this in your translation. Alternate translation: “Some of the officials who served under the Egyptian king noticed her, so” or “When some officials of Pharaoh the king of Egypt saw her”

|

12:17 edr0 נְגָעִ֥ים גְּדֹלִ֖ים 1 Alternate translation: “with severe diseases”
|
||||
12:17 s1no rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-infostructure עַל דְּבַ֥ר שָׂרַ֖י אֵ֥שֶׁת אַבְרָֽם 1 For many languages it is clearer and more natural to put this clause first in this verse and say, “But since King Pharaoh had taken Abram’s wife Sarai, Yahweh afflicted the king and his family with severe illnesses.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “because of Sarai, Abram’s wife” or “because he had taken Abram’s wife Sarai”

God blessed all people on earth by sending his Son Jesus (the Messiah/Christ) to die in their place and pay for all their sins (John 3:16-18, 1 Timothy 2:3-6), so that they could have a close relationship with him/God and be part of his family forever. God repeats this great promise in Genesis 18:18; 22:18; 26:4; 28:14. You could put some of that information in a footnote.
