By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.

Because of his faith he made his home in the land God had promised him. Abraham was like an outsider in a strange country. He lived there in tents. So did Isaac and Jacob. They received the same promise he did.

By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise.

And even when he reached the land God promised him, he lived there by faith— for he was like a foreigner, living in tents. And so did Isaac and Jacob, who inherited the same promise.

By faith he stayed as a foreigner in the land of promise, living in tents as did Isaac and Jacob, coheirs of the same promise.

By faith he lived as a stranger in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise;

By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise;

By faith he became a sojourner in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

By faith he stayed as a foreigner in the land of promise, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, coheirs of the same promise.

By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as[ in] a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

By faith he lived as a foreigner in the promised land as though it were a foreign country, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who were fellow heirs of the same promise.

By faith, he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.

然後，他們又啟程前往伯特利東面的山區，在那裡搭起帳篷。他們的西面是伯特利，東面是艾。亞伯蘭又在那裡築了一座壇，求告耶和華。

亞伯蘭就把帳篷遷移到希伯崙幔利的橡樹那裡居住，在那裡為耶和華築了一座祭壇。

那三位客人問亞伯拉罕：「你妻子撒拉在哪裡？」亞伯拉罕回答說：「在帳篷裡。」

同樣，上帝為要向承受應許的人顯明祂的旨意絕不更改，就用誓言向他們保證。

他從南地漸漸遷移到伯特利，到了他從前在伯特利和艾中間搭帳篷和築壇的地方。他又在那裡求告耶和華。

耶和華站在梯子上對雅各說：「我是耶和華，是你祖父亞伯拉罕的上帝，也是以撒的上帝。我要把你現在躺臥的地方賜給你和你的後代。你的後代必多如地上的塵沙，遍佈四方，地上萬族必因你和你的後代而蒙福。

對約瑟說：「全能的上帝曾經在迦南的路斯向我顯現，賜福給我。祂對我說，『我必使你生養眾多，子孫興旺，並把迦南賜給你和你的後裔永遠作產業。』

雅各來到他父親以撒住的幔利，即基列·亞巴，也就是亞伯拉罕和以撒寄居的地方。基列·亞巴就是希伯崙。

當時在這片土地上，上帝沒有給他任何產業，他甚至連立足之地也沒有。但上帝應許要把這片土地賜給他和他的後裔作產業，儘管那時候亞伯拉罕還沒有兒子。上帝又說，『你的子孫必流落異鄉，受奴役、被虐待四百年。

於是，亞伯拉罕連忙進帳篷對撒拉說：「快準備三斗細麵粉，和麵烤餅。」

耶和華在幔利的橡樹那裡向亞伯拉罕顯現。那時天氣很熱，亞伯拉罕坐在帳篷口，抬頭看見三個人站在對面，就跑去迎接他們，俯伏在地，

我要把你現在寄居的整個迦南賜給你和你的後裔永遠作產業，我也必做他們的上帝。」

你寄居在這裡，我必與你同在，賜福給你，因為我必把這些土地賜給你和你的後代，堅立我對你父親亞伯拉罕的誓約。我必使你的後代多如繁星，將這些土地都賜給他們，天下萬國必因你的後裔而蒙福。

「我是寄居在你們這裡的異鄉人，請你們給我一塊地，我好埋葬我的亡妻。」

願上帝把賜給亞伯拉罕的福氣賜給你和你的後代，讓你承受你寄居之地為產業，就是上帝賜給亞伯拉罕的地方。」

孩子們漸漸長大，以掃擅長狩獵，常在田野活動；雅各生來安靜，喜歡待在家裡。
