Genesis 12:6-9

6Abram passed through the land as far as the site of 1Shechem, to the 2oak of Moreh. Now the Canaanite was then in the land. 7The Lord 3appeared to Abram and said, “4To your 5descendants I will give this land.” So he built 6an altar there to the Lord who had appeared to him. 8Then he proceeded from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, with 7Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the Lord and 8called upon the name of the Lord. 9Abram journeyed on, continuing toward 9the 10Negev.
