Genesis 12:9 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 12:9

And Abram journeyed
He did not stay long in the mountain between Bethel and Hai, but moved from thence, and kept on journeying in the land of Canaan:

going on still toward the south;
the southern part of the land of Canaan, which lay nearest Egypt, into which he is said to go next, the occasion of which follows.

Genesis 12:9 In-Context

7 apparuitque Dominus Abram et dixit ei semini tuo dabo terram hanc qui aedificavit ibi altare Domino qui apparuerat ei

8 et inde transgrediens ad montem qui erat contra orientem Bethel tetendit ibi tabernaculum suum ab occidente habens Bethel et ab oriente Ai aedificavit quoque ibi altare Domino et invocavit nomen eius

9 perrexitque Abram vadens et ultra progrediens ad meridiem

10 facta est autem fames in terra descenditque Abram in Aegyptum ut peregrinaretur ibi praevaluerat enim fames in terra
