Abraham "went on his journeys...to Bethel (in Central Israel) And the Lord said unto Abram...Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever...walk through the land...for I will give it unto thee" (Gen. 13:3,14-17).
Abrahamu "akaendelea kusafiri ….. mpaka Betheli (ndani katikati ya Israeli).BWANA akamwambia Abrahamu ….. Inua sasa macho yako, ukatazame toka hapo ulipo, upande wa kaskazini na wa kusini na wa mashariki na wa magharibi, maana hii nchi yote uionayo, nitakupa wewe na uzao wako hata milele ….. katembee katika nchi hii katika mapana yake, na marefu yake, maana nitakupa wewe nchi hiyo" (Mwa. 13: 3, 15: 18).
