Genesis 12:4-5

12:4 So Abram left, ¹  just as the Lord had told him to do, ²  and Lot went with him. (Now ³  Abram was 75 years old ⁴  when he departed from Haran.) 12:5 And Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew ⁵  Lot, and all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired ⁶  in Haran, and they left for ⁷  the land of Canaan. They entered the land of Canaan.

[12:4]  ¹ sn So Abram left. This is the report of Abram’s obedience to God’s command (see v. 1).

[12:4]  ² tn Heb “just as the Lord said to him.”

[12:4]  ³ tn The disjunctive clause (note the pattern conjunction + subject + implied “to be” verb) is parenthetical, telling the age of Abram when he left Haran.

[12:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “was the son of five years and seventy year[s].”

[12:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “the son of his brother.”

[12:5]  ⁶ tn For the semantic nuance “acquire [property]” for the verb עָשָׂה (’asah), see BDB 795 s.v. עָשָׂה.

[12:5]  ⁷ tn Heb “went out to go.”
