God gave Abram an order to be obeyed, and gave Abram promises (i.e., revelation) about his future (Genesis 12:1-3)
Now Yahweh said to Abram,
“Get out of your country, and from your relatives,
and from your father’s house, to the land that I will show you.

I will make of you a great nation.
I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. All of the families of the earth will be blessed in you.”

Sarai thought of a way to make the promise happen, but it backfired

I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from her.”
