enesis 12:1–6
After Terah died Abram listened to the Lord when he told him “get thee out of thy country…”. And so he packed up the family and went to Sichem to live with the Canaanites. In Genesis 12:7 the LORD actually appears to Abram to tell him to take the land.
Genesis 12:8
After traveling from Sichem to Bethel Abram called upon the Lord with thanksgiving and offerings. Abram was faithful to continually call upon the Lord for direction.
Genesis 12:9–13
They continued south toward Egypt because there was a famine in the land. It was at this stop that Abram convinced Sarai to lie and tell the Egyptians that she was his sister, rather than his wife. He feared that if they learned she was his wife that they would kill him so they could take his wife.
Genesis 13:1–4
Abram returned to Bethel from Egypt along with the abundance of cattle, silver and gold. Again Abram called unto the Lord for guidance. From there he traveled back to Hebron.

Next stop in his travels was Gerar where Isaac was born. In this passage we also read of the exile of Hagar and Ishmael in the desert. Hagar was Sarah’s handmaid that was given to Abraham when Sarah was barren. Abraham is the father of Ishmael and when Isaac was born Ishmael was about 13 years old. Jealousy between Sarah and Hagar caused Abraham to send them into the desert.
Genesis 21:29-33
From Gerar Abraham traveled to Beer-sheba where he made a covenant, as sort of peace treaty, with Abimelech king of Gerar. In this Abimelech was asking Abraham to deal fairly with he and his people and promise not to tell anymore lies, such as he did about his wife.
Genesis 22:1-19
It was the journey from Beer-sheba to Mt. Moriah that God sent Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac as a test of his faith. God spared Isaac after testing Abraham. And then Abraham returned to Beer-sheba.
Genesis 23:1-25:8
Abraham went back up to Hebron to purchase a burial place for his wife and then he returned back to Beer-Sheba where he died. He was then carried by Isaac and Ishmael to his final resting place back in Hebron where Sarah was buried.
