Genesis 12.3 |

And I will bless those that bless thee, and curse those that curse thee, and in thee shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed |
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all the nations be blessed |
and I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse: and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed |
Comments: The NT, LXX and MT agree - though the NT author has replaced “tribes (or families) of the earth” with an equivalent concept: “nations.” |
