Genesis 12:1

Now the LORD said unto Abram: ‘Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto the land that I will show thee.

What's bothering Rashi?

God tells Abram to 'go' but adds the word 'for yourself' (lech lecha). Why say 'go for yourself' rather than simply 'go'?

Look closely. What seems repeated, missing, out of order, or strange?
