12:lO-20 GENESIS
Recapihdation: Leaving Haran, Abram journeyed
through Shechem (12:6), Bethel (8), southward . (9),
Egypt (lo), back to the Negeb (13:1), and to Bethel
(13:3); but he seems not to have settled down until he
reached Hebron ( 13 : 18). Here he remained (13 : 18,
14:13, 18:1), through the birth of Ishmael at 86 (16:16),
and the conception of Isaac at 99 (17:l). The most
significant event of this period, and indeed of his whole
life, was the revelation of the Abrahamic covenant (ch.
15) and its confirmation (ch. 17), the means by which
he and his fleshly seed were reconciled to God.
