Passage: Genesis 12:1-3
I am teaching Genesis 12 and the call of Abram.[1] Genesis 12:1–3 is a passage I have studied many times over the years, however, recently I have come to realize that the promises in the first three verses of chapter 12 are on the same level as the foundational statements by the Lord in the first eleven chapters of Genesis.
