Genesis 12:6-8

Easy-to-Read Version

⁶ Abram traveled through the land as far as the town of Shechem and then to the big tree at Moreh. The Canaanites were living in the land at that time.

⁷ The Lord appeared^[a] to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your descendants.”

Abram built an altar to honor the Lord who appeared to him there. ⁸ Then he left that place and traveled to the mountains east of Bethel. He set up his tent there. Bethel was to the west, and Ai^[b] was to the east. Abram built another altar at that place to honor the Lord, and he worshiped the Lord there.
