Genesis 12:6-9
King James Version
6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
7 And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him.
8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the Lord, and called upon the name of the Lord.
9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.

Genesis 12:6-9
New American Standard Bible
6 Abram passed through the land as far as the site of (A)Shechem, to the [a]oak of Moreh. Now the Canaanites were in the land at that time. 7 And the Lord (B)appeared to Abram and said, “(C)To your [b]descendants I will give this land.” So he built (D)an altar there to the Lord who had appeared to him. 8 Then he proceeded from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent with (E)Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the Lord and (F)called upon the name of the Lord. 9 Then Abram journeyed on, continuing toward (G)the [c]Negev.
