Genesis 12:7 in Context — Genesis 12

5 Abram prit Saraï, sa femme, et Lot, fils de son frère, avec tous les biens qu’ils possédaient et les serviteurs qu’ils avaient acquis à Charan. Ils partirent pour aller dans le pays de Canaan, et ils arrivèrent au pays de Canaan.

6 Abram parcourut le pays jusqu’au lieu nommé Sichem, jusqu’aux chênes de Moré. Les Cananéens étaient alors dans le pays.

7 L’Éternel apparut à Abram, et dit: Je donnerai ce pays à ta postérité. Et Abram bâtit là un autel à l’Éternel, qui lui était apparu.

8 Il se transporta de là vers la montagne, à l’orient de Béthel, et il dressa ses tentes, ayant Béthel à l’occident et Aï à l’orient. Il bâtit encore là un autel à l’Éternel, et il invoqua le nom de l’Éternel.

9 Abram continua ses marches, en s’avançant vers le midi.
