1 From Egypt Abram went up to the Negeb with his wife and all that belonged to him, and Lot went with him.
2 Now Abram was very rich in livestock, silver, and gold.
3 From the Negeb he traveled by stages toward Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had formerly stood,
4 the site where he had first built the altar; and there Abram invoked the Lord by name.
