1 Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev Desert. He took his wife and everything he had. Lot went with him.
2 Abram had become very rich. He had a lot of livestock and silver and gold.
3 From the Negev Desert, he went from place to place until he came to Bethel. He came to a place between Bethel and Ai. That's where his tent had been earlier.
4 He had also built an altar there. He worshiped the Lord there.
