God Promises to Give Abram the Land of Canaan and Many Descendants

13:14-18

14 After Lot had left Abram, Yahweh said to Abram, “Look all around you from the place where you live. Look north, south, east, and west. 15 All the land that you see I will give to you and your descendants to own forever. 16 In fact, I will give you so many descendants that they will be as numerous as the specks of dust on the earth. No one will be able to count how many descendants you have, just as no one can count how many specks of dust there are. 17 So now, start walking through the land in all directions. Go throughout the entire land and look it over, because I am giving it all to you.” 18 Then Abram obeyed Yahweh and moved his tents and settled near the oak trees on the land owned by a man named Mamre, near the city of Hebron. There he built an altar out of stones and burned sacrifices on it to thank and worship Yahweh.
