Genesis 13:2

Abraham
Money and wealth

1 So Abram went up out of Egypt into the Negev—he and his wife and all his possessions—and Lot was with him.

And Abram had become extremely wealthy in livestock and silver and gold.

3 From the Negev he journeyed from place to place toward Bethel, until he came to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had formerly been pitched,

4 to the site where he had built the altar. And there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
