1 “Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from
your father’s house, To a land that I will show
you. 2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless
you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you, And I will
curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth
shall be blessed.” 4 So Abram departed as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him.
And Abram was seventy-five…
…years old when he departed from Haran. 5 Then Abram took Sarai
his wife and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that
they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran,
and they departed to go to the land…
…of Canaan. So they came to the land of Canaan. 6 Abram
passed through the land to the place of
Shechem, as far as the terebinth tree of Moreh.
And the Canaanites were then in the land.”
Genesis 12:1-6

was encountered in that space. Places become significant, even Holy,
when they mediate persons where they are created by relationship”

every tear from their eyes;
…there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor
crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have
passed away. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.” Revelation 21:3-4,7
