Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. So he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him. And Abram journeyed on by stages toward the Negeb. O you righteous.
Praise befits the upright.
For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness. By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all their host by the breath of his mouth. The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. I will return again to my place until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face. Your love is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes away early.
