131 So Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev, with his wife and everything he had, and Lot went with him.
131 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
131 So Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the Negeb.
131 So Abram left Egypt and went back to the Negev, he and his wife and everything he owned, and Lot still with him.
131 Then Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, to the South.
131 So Abram left Egypt and traveled north into the Negev, along with his wife and Lot and all that they owned.
3 From the Negev he went from place to place until he came to Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had been earlier
3 And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;
3 And he journeyed on from the Negeb as far as Bethel to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
3 He moved on from the Negev, camping along the way, to Bethel, the place he had first set up his tent between Bethel and Ai
3 And he went on his journey from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
3 From the Negev, they continued traveling by stages toward Bethel, and they pitched their tents between Bethel and Ai, where they had camped before.
(Read Genesis 13:1-4)
Abram was very rich: he was very heavy, so the Hebrew word is; for riches are a burden; and they that will be rich, do but load themselves with thick clay, Mark 10:23,24. Nay, outward prosperity, if well managed, is an ornament to piety, and an opportunity for doing more good. Abram removed to Beth-el. His altar was gone, so that he could not offer sacrifice; but he called on the name of the Lord. You may as soon find a living man without breath as one of God's people without prayer.
