Genesis 12:1-3
KJV—Now the Lord had said unto Abram….
I will make of thee a great nation, and I will
bless thee, and make thy name great; and
thou shalt be a blessing: 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.
Amp—Now [in Haran], the Lord said to
Abram….I will make of you a great nation,
and I will bless you [with abundant increase
of favors] and make your name famous and
distinguished, and you shall be a blessing—
dispensing good to others. And I will bless
those who bless you [who confer prosperity
or happiness upon you], and curse him
who curses or uses insolent language toward
you; in you shall all the families and
kindred of the earth be blessed—by you
they shall bless themselves.
Moffatt—Said the Eternal to Abram….“I will
make a great nation of you and bless you
and make you famous for your bliss; those
who bless you, I will bless, and anyone who
curses you I will curse, till all nations of the
world seek bliss such as yours.”
NIV—The Lord had said to Abram….“I will
make you into a great nation and I will
bless you; I will make your name great, and
you will be a blessing. I will bless those who
bless you, and whoever curses you I will
curse; and all peoples on earth will be
blessed through you.”
Genesis 26:1-3
KJV—And there was a famine in the land….
And the Lord appeared unto him [Isaac],
and said…Sojourn in this land, and I will be
with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee,
and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries,
and I will perform the oath which I
sware unto Abraham thy father.
Amp—And there was a famine in the land….
And the Lord appeared to him [Isaac], and
said…Dwell temporarily in this land, and I will
be with you and will favor you with blessings;
for to you and to your descendants I will
give all these lands, and I will perform the
oath which I swore to Abraham your father.
Moffatt—When a famine visited the land….
The Eternal appeared to him [Isaac], saying…
Reside in this land, and I will be with you and
bless you [[for to you and your descendants
I give all this region; I will ratify the oath I
swore to your father Abraham.]]
NIV—And there was a famine in the land….
And the Lord appeared unto [Isaac], and
said…Sojourn in this land, and I will be with
thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and
unto thy seed, I will give all these countries,
and I will perform the oath which I sware
unto Abraham thy father.
