1 Abram went up from Egypt toward the arid southern plain with his wife, with everything he had, and with Lot.
2 Abram was very wealthy in livestock, silver, and gold.
3 Abram traveled, making and breaking camp, from the arid southern plain to Bethel and to the sacred place there, where he had first pitched his tent between Bethel and Ai,
4 that is, to the place at which he had earlier built the altar. There he worshipped in the Lord’s name.
