      29   And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
      30   But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
      31   And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.

      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.

      3   And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.
      4   Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.
      5   And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.
      6   And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years.
      7   And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.

Galatians 3:5-29

       5   He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
      6.   Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
      7   Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
      8   And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
      9   So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
      10   For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
      11   But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
      12   And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
      13   Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
      14   That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
      15   Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
      16   Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
      17   And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
      18   For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
      19.   Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
      20   Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
      21   Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
      22   But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
      23   But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
      24   Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
      25   But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
      26   For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
      27   For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
      28   There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
      29   And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Hebrews 11:8-16

       8   By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
      9   By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
      10   For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
      11   Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
      12   Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
      13   These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
      14   For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
      15   And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
      16   But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
