1 So Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, ^ointo the Negeb.

2 ^pNow Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. 3 And he journeyed on from the Negeb as far as Bethel to ^qthe place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai, 4 to the place where he had ^rmade an altar at the first. And there Abram ^scalled upon the name of the Lord.
