Lamsa(i)
2 He said, Men, brethren and our fathers, harken: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was still in Mes-opo- taÆmi-a before he came to dwell in HaÆran.
3 And he said to him, Get out of your land and from your relatives and come into the land which I shall show you.
4 Then Abraham left the land of the ChaldeÆans and he came and settled in HaÆran and from thence, after his fatherÆs death, God removed him into this land in which you now live.
5 And he gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it as an inheritance to him and to his posterity, when as yet he had no son.
6 God spoke to him and said, Your descendants will be settlers in a foreign land where they will be enslaved and mistreated for a period of four hundred years.
