     Explanation: After Abram's father, Terah, died (Genesis 11:32) the Lord told Abram to go to a land He would show him (Genesis 12:1). He made the first of a series of promises (Genesis 18:18; Genesis 22:18; Genesis 26:4; Genesis 28:14; Acts 3:25; Galatians 3:8; Galatians 3:16) to Abraham that he would 2 "make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."
