altar in Genesis 13
ALL-ter
This thing shows up in Genesis 13:4: “to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on Yahweh’s name.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Genesis 13:4
“to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on Yahweh’s name.”
