Genesis 13:4

Unto the place of the altar.

To the spot where he had reared an altar, and conducted solemn worship, years before (Genesis 12:8). His heart doubtless longed for his first love, in the land of promise, and to get back to the sweet memorial places where he had communed with God. He had been an exile, and it was. delight to worship once more at the spots endeared by the divine presence. There, as during his former sojourn, "he called on the name of Jehovah," solemnly worshiped the Lord under his revealed name. He kept up the faith of his family and dependents by public recognition of Jehovah, the one eternal God.
