Genesis 12:1

And Yahweh is saying toward Raised-Father, `Walk to-yourself,464 from your earth, and from your birth-place,465 and from the house of your father, toward the Earth which I am causing you to see.466

Footnote:

464

Walk to you. Hebrew לֶךְ־לְךָ֛. This is an imperative walk + to you. Compare with the imperative of Genesis 6:21, קַח־לְךָ֗, take to yourself. Raised-Father is commanded to walk to himself which may be a similar thought to “loving your friend as yourself”.
