「我耶和華膏立塞魯士為王，我牽著他的右手幫助他征服列國、降服列王；我使城門洞開，讓他通行無阻。我對他說，

他們像草一樣剛被栽上，剛被種上，剛在土裡扎根，上帝一口氣吹來，便都枯乾了，暴風將他們像禾稭一樣吹去。

「我使一人從北方興起，他來了，他在東方求告我的名。他必把掌權者像灰泥一樣踏在腳下，像窯匠踩泥一樣踐踏。

我把他們打得粉碎，如同地上的灰塵，踐踏他們，就像踐踏街上的泥土。

「波斯王塞魯士如此說，『天上的上帝耶和華已把天下萬國都賜給我，祂吩咐我在猶大的耶路撒冷為祂建造殿宇。

亞伯蘭聽見侄兒被擄的消息，便率領家中三百一十八名訓練有素的壯丁去追趕他們，一直追到但。夜裡，亞伯蘭和他的隨從分頭出擊，大敗敵人，一直追殺到大馬士革北面的何巴，

亞伯拉罕因為有信心，聽到上帝的呼召後，就遵命前往他將要承受為產業的地方，但他出發的時候還不知道自己要去哪裡。他憑信心像異鄉人一樣寄居在上帝應許給他的地方。他住在帳篷裡，與同受一個應許的以撒和雅各一樣。因為他盼望的是一座有根基的城，是由上帝設計、建造的。

耶和華對亞伯蘭說：「你要離開家鄉、親族和父親的家，到我要指示你的地方去。我必使你成為大國，我必賜福給你，使你聲名遠播。你必成為別人的祝福。我必賜福給那些祝福你的人，咒詛那些咒詛你的人。世上萬族必因你而蒙福。」
