Genesis 12:7-8

Context
12:7 The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants¹ I will give this land.” So Abram² built an altar there to the Lord, who had appeared to him.

12:8 Then he moved from there to the hill country east of Bethel³ and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the Lord and worshiped the Lord.⁴

¹tn The same Hebrew term זֶרַע (zera’) may mean “seed” (for planting), “offspring” (occasionally of animals, but usually of people), or “descendants” depending on the context.

²tn Heb “he”; the referent (Abram) has been supplied in the translation for clarification.

⁴tn Heb “he called in the name of the Lord.” The expression refers to worshiping the Lord through prayer and sacrifice (see Gen 4:26; 13:4; 21:33; 26:25). See G. J. Wenham, Genesis (WBC), 1:116, 281.
