God Appears To Abram & Orders Him To Leave Home    GENESIS Chapter 12

God took the initiative in appearing to Abram - in a vision probably - and told him to leave Haran (in modern Turkey), where he and his family had been living, and go to a country God would show him when he got there! In spite of not knowing where they were going, Abram obeyed and he, his wife Sarai, nephew Lot and their servants moved to the land of Canaan.
