5 Abram set out for Canaan. He took along his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, and all the possessions they had accumulated and the servants they had acquired in Haran.

6 They arrived in Canaan, and Abram traveled through the land to the oak tree belonging to Moreh at Shechem. At that time the Canaanites were in the land.

7 Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, |I'm going to give this land to your descendants.| So he built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him.
