The call of Abram; departure from Haran
The LORD called Abram to leave his country for a land he would be shown, promising to make him a great nation in whom all families of the earth would be blessed (Genesis 12:1-3). Abram departed Haran at 75 (Genesis 12:4), in 1921 BC, the year the chart marks as the start of the 430-year sojourn (Galatians 3:16-18).
📖 Genesis 12:1–3
1Then the LORD said to Abram, “Leave your country, your kindred, and your father’s household, and go to the land I will show you. 2I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
