This OET (very) Literal Version was designed to be used as a view into the original language words, so as to be an aid to understanding the source text for the Readers’ Version, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

12 And_ YHWH _he/it _said to ʼAⱱrām go to/for_yourself(m) from_your(ms)_land and_from_your(ms)_descendants and_from_household your _father _of_your to the_earth/land which I _will _show_you(ms).

2 And_I _will _make_you(ms) to_(a)_nation great and_I _will _bless_you(ms) and_I _will _make _big/great your(ms)_name and_be a _blessing.

3 And_I _will _bless (those _who)bless_you(ms) and_despises_you(ms) I _will _curse and_they _will _be _blessed in_you(ms) all _of the _clans _of the_soil.

4 And_ ʼAⱱrām _he/it _went just_as he _had _said to_him/it YHWH and_he/it _went with_him/it Lōţ and_Avram was_a _son _of five years and_seventy year[s] in_his/its_coming _out from_Ḩārān.

5 And_ ʼAⱱrām _he/it _took DOM Sarai his/its_wife/woman and_DOM Lōţ the _son _of his/its_brother and_DOM all _of their_property which they _had _accumulated and_DOM the_people whom they _had _acquired in_Ḩārān and_they _went _out to_go towards_land of _Kənaˊan/(Canaan) and_they _came towards_land of _Kənaˊan/(Canaan).

6 And_ ʼAⱱrām _he/it _passed _through on _the_earth to the _place _of Shəkem to the _great _tree _of Mōreh and_the_Kənaˊₐnīte then on _the_earth.

7 And_ YHWH _he _appeared to ʼAⱱrām and_he/it _said to_offspring _of_your I _will _give DOM the_earth/land (the)_this and_he/it _built there an _altar to/for_YHWH who_had_appeared to_him/it.

8 And_he _moved _on from_there to_the _hill_country from_east of_Bēyt- ^ʼēl and_he _pitched tent _of_his[fn] Bēyt- ^ʼēl was_from_the_west and_(the)_ˊAy from_east and_he/it _built there an _altar to/for_YHWH and_he/it _called in/on_name _of YHWH.

9 And_ ʼAⱱrām _he _journeyed going and_journeying towards_the_south.

10 And_he/it _was a _famine on _the_earth and_ ʼAⱱrām _he/it _descended to_Miʦrayim/(Egypt) to_sojourn there if/because was_heavy the_famine on _the_earth.

11 And_he/it _was just_as he _drew _near to_enter towards_Miʦrayim and_he/it _said to Sarai his/its_wife/woman HERE please I _know if/because _that are_a _woman beautiful _of appearance you.

12 And_it _was if/because the_Miʦrayimians they _will _see you and_they _will _say his/its_wife/woman this and_they _will _kill DOM_me and_you they _will _let _live.

13 Say please sister _of_are_my you so _that it _may _go _well to_me because_of_you and_ life _of_my _it _will _live on_account _of_of _you.

14 And_he/it _was just_ ʼAⱱrām _as _entered towards_Miʦrayim and_ the_Miʦrayimians _they _saw DOM the_woman if/because _that was_beautiful she very.

15 And_ the _officials _of Parˊoh _they _saw DOM_her/it and_they _praised DOM_her/it to Parˊoh and_ the_woman _she _was _taken the _house _of Parˊoh.

17 And_ YHWH _he _struck DOM Parˊoh plagues great and_DOM house _of_his on the _matter _of Sarai the _wife _of ʼAⱱrām.

18 And_ Parˊoh _he/it _called (to)_ʼAⱱrām and_he/it _said what this have _you _done to/for_me to/for_what not did _you _tell to/for_me if/because _that wife _of_was_your she.
