Genesis 12:7-9
7 Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” And there he built an altar to the LORD, who had appeared to him.
8 And he moved from there to the mountain east of Bethel, and he pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; there he built an altar to the LORD and called on the name of the LORD.

沉思
《创世记 12：7-9》
7 耶和华向亚伯兰显现，说：“我要把这地赐给你的后裔。”亚伯兰就在那里为向他显现的耶和华筑了一座坛。
8 从那里他又迁到伯特利东边的山，支搭帐篷。西边是伯特利，东边是艾。他在那里又为耶和华筑了一座坛，求告耶和华的名。9 后来亚伯兰又渐渐迁往南地去。
