Genesis 12:8-10

Living Bible

⁸ Afterwards Abram left that place and traveled southward^[a] to the hilly country between Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he made camp, and made an altar to the Lord and prayed to him. ⁹ Thus he continued slowly southward to the Negeb, pausing frequently.

¹⁰ There was at that time a terrible famine in the land: and so Abram went on down to Egypt to live.
