1. SO ABRAM went up out of Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South [country of Judah, the Negeb].
2. Now Abram was extremely rich in livestock and in silver and in gold.
3. And he journeyed on from the South [country of Judah, the Negeb] as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
4. Where he had built an altar at first; and there Abram called on the name of the Lord. [Gal. 3:6-9.]
