Hebron — one of the oldest cities in the world — will become deeply associated with Abram and the patriarchs. Sarah will die here (Genesis 23), Abraham will buy the cave of Machpelah as a burial place here, and it will become a city of refuge and a Levitical city in Israel. The fourth altar in the Abram narrative seals the pattern: this is a man whose life is organised around worship. The story ends as it has ended before: tent, altar, worship.
Memory phrase: Build an altar wherever God leads you.
Talk about it: This is Abram's third altar in Canaan. What does building another altar tell us about how Abram lived his life with God?
Prayer: God, help me make worship the rhythm of my whole life — not just for special moments but as the pattern of every day and every new place.
