14 After Lot had left, Yahweh told Abram, “Look all around you towards the north, the south, the east, and the west, 15 because all that land that you can see, I’ll give it to you and to your descendants to have forever.[ref] 16 I’ll make your descendants as numerous as dust particles. Your descendants will only be able to be counted if someone’s able to count all the dust particles on the earth. 17 So, go and start walking throughout the land—through its length and its width, because I’m giving it all to you.” 18 So Abram moved his tents and went and settled by the terebinth trees at Mamre (near Hebron), and he built an altar to Yahweh there.
