Genesis 12:5-9

5And AbramH87 tookH3947 his wifeH802 SaraiH8297, his nephewH1121H251 LotH3876, and allH3605 the possessionsH7399 and peopleH5315 they had acquiredH6213 in HaranH2771, and set outH3318H1980 for the landH776 of CanaanH3667.

When they cameH935 to the landH776 of CanaanH3667, 6AbramH87 traveledH5674 through the landH776 as far asH5704 the siteH4725 of the OakH4361 of MorehH4176 at ShechemH7927. And at that timeH227 the CanaanitesH3669 were in the landH776.

7Then the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 toH413 AbramH87 and saidH559, “I will giveH5414 thisH2063 landH776 to your offspringH2233.2” So Abram builtH1129 an altarH4196 thereH8033 to the LORDH3068, who had appearedH7200 to himH413.

8From thereH8033 Abram moved onH6275 to the hill countryH2022 eastH6924 ofH1008 BethelH1008 and pitchedH5186 his tentH168, with BethelH1008 to the westH3220 and AiH5857 to the eastH6924. ThereH8033 he builtH1129 an altarH4196 to the LORDH3068, and he calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.

9And AbramH87 journeyed onH5265H1980 towardH5265 the NegevH5045.
