Genesis 12:5-9
New American Standard Bible
5 Abram took his wife Sarai and his nephew Lot, and all their (A)possessions which they had accumulated, and (B)the [a]people which they had acquired in Haran, and they [b]set out for the land of Canaan; (C)so they came to the land of Canaan. 6 Abram passed through the land as far as the site of (D)Shechem, to the [c]oak of Moreh. Now the Canaanites were in the land at that time. 7 And the Lord (E)appeared to Abram and said, “(F)To your [d]descendants I will give this land.” So he built (G)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 (H)Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the Lord and (I)called upon the name of the Lord. 9 Then Abram journeyed on, continuing toward (J)the [e]Negev.
