Then Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they departed to go to the land of Canaan. So they came to the land of Canaan.
Genesis 12:5 (NKJV)
The translators note the word "people" in Genesis 12:5 is not actually "people. " Rather it means "souls" or "living beings," which is a strange way to describe people.
But stranger yet is that the word "acquired" here does not mean "acquired." The word is עָשָׂה (asah). It means to MAKE.
As in, "and God made," which points us back to Genesis 1.
