Abram took his wife Sarai and his nephew Lot, and all their ^(C1)possessions which they had accumulated, and ^(C2)the ^(F1)people which they had acquired in Haran, and they ^(F2)set out for the land of Canaan; ^(C3)so they came to the land of Canaan.

Abram passed through the land as far as the site of ^(C1)Shechem, to the ^(F1)oak of Moreh. Now the Canaanites were in the land at that time.

And the LORD ^(C1)appeared to Abram and said, "^(C2)To your ^(F1)descendants I will give this land." So he built ^(C3)an altar there to the LORD who had appeared to him.

Then he proceeded from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent with ^(C1)Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the LORD and ^(C2)called upon the name of the LORD.

Then Abram journeyed on, continuing toward ^(C1)the ^(F1)Negev.

Now there was ^(C1)a famine in the land; so Abram went down to Egypt to live there for a time, because the famine was ^(C2)severe in the land.
