12:2 make you famous (literally make your name great): Abram received the fame sought by the builders of Babel (see 11:4 and study note).
• and you will be a blessing (or so that you will be a blessing): This clause is a command in Hebrew, but it is also a promise conditioned upon Abram’s obedience to God’s command (12:1): “Go . . . so that you will be a blessing. Be a blessing, so that I can bless and curse others.”
