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.

Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “and his deceased brothers son Lot” or “and his nephew Lot” 12:5 v8yx בְ⁠חָרָ֑ן 1 “in the city of Haran,” or “in Haran City
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.

12:6 ep53 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy וַ⁠יַּעֲבֹ֤ר אַבְרָם֙ 1 **Abram** is the only one named here because he is in focus.

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).
