Genesis 12:8 in Context — Genesis 12
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.
