6. Abram passed through the land to the site of Shechem, at the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land.
7. Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your offspring.” So he built an altar there to the Lord who had appeared to him.
8. From there he moved on to the hill country east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. He built an altar to Yahweh there, and he called on the name of Yahweh.
9. Then Abram journeyed by stages to the Negev.
