¹⁵ for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever.^(A)

⁴ to the place where he had made an altar at the first, and there Abram called on the name of the Lord.^(A)

¹⁸ So Abram moved his tent and came and settled by the oaks^[a] of Mamre, which are at Hebron, and there he built an altar to the Lord.^(A)
