Genesis 12:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your ·descendants [^Lseed].” So Abram built an altar [^Ca place to offer sacrifices] there to the Lord, who had appeared to him. ⁸ Then he traveled from Shechem to the mountain east of Bethel [^Ca town in the central hill country south of Shechem] and set up his tent there. Bethel was to the west, and Ai [^Ca town near Bethel] was to the east. There Abram built another altar to the Lord and ·worshiped him [^Lcalled on the name of the Lord]. ⁹ After this, he traveled on toward ·southern Canaan [^Lthe Negev; 13:1].
