From there he moved on to the hill country east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. He built an altar to Yahweh there, and he called on the name of Yahweh.

So Abram moved his tent and went to live near the oaks of Mamre at Hebron, where he built an altar to the Lord.

“ Where is your wife Sarah?” they asked him.“ There, in the tent,” he answered.

Because God wanted to show His unchangeable purpose even more clearly to the heirs of the promise, He guaranteed it with an oath,

He went by stages from the Negev to Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had formerly been,

Yahweh was standing there beside him, saying,“ I am Yahweh, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your offspring the land that you are now sleeping on.Your offspring will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out toward the west, the east, the north, and the south. All the peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.

Jacob said to Joseph,“ God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me.He said to me,‘ I will make you fruitful and numerous; I will make many nations come from you, and I will give this land as an eternal possession to your future descendants.’

Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre in Kiriath-arba( that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.

He didn’t give him an inheritance in it, not even a foot of ground, but He promised to give it to him as a possession, and to his descendants after him, even though he was childless.God spoke in this way: His descendants would be strangers in a foreign country, and they would enslave and oppress them 400 years.

So Abraham hurried into the tent and said to Sarah,“ Quick! Knead three measures of fine flour and make bread.”

Then the Lord appeared to Abraham at the oaks of Mamre while he was sitting in the entrance of his tent during the heat of the day.He looked up, and he saw three men standing near him. When he saw them, he ran from the entrance of the tent to meet them and bowed to the ground.

And to you and your future offspring I will give the land where you are residing— all the land of Canaan— as an eternal possession, and I will be their God.”

stay in this land as a foreigner, and I will be with you and bless you. For I will give all these lands to you and your offspring, and I will confirm the oath that I swore to your father Abraham.I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky, I will give your offspring all these lands, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring,

“ I am a foreign resident among you. Give me a burial site among you so that I can bury my dead.”

May God give you and your offspring the blessing of Abraham so that you may possess the land where you live as a foreigner, the land God gave to Abraham.”

When the boys grew up, Esau became an expert hunter, an outdoorsman, but Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home.
