Verse 3
- Compare to 1:1. In Abr 1:1, Abraham writes, "I saw that it was needful for me to obtain another place of residence." Here, Abraham says that the Lord tells him to get out of the country. Why does Abraham mention his own thoughts in Abr 1:1 before mentioning God's commandment to him here? What is going on in terms of the structure in these chapters with this verse picking up where Abr 1:1 left off?

Verse 4
Terah in Haran. Notice that Genesis 12 does not mention Abraham's father, Terah, going with Abraham and lot and their wives to Haran like this verse does, but Gen 11:31 does.
