Abraham, then, having departed out of Haran in the seventy-fifth
year of his own age, and in the hundred and forty-fifth of his
father's, went with Lot, his brother's son, and Sarah his wife,
into the land of Canaan, and came even to Sichem, where again he
received the divine oracle, of which it is thus written: "And the
Lord appeared unto Abram, and said unto him, Unto thy seed will I
give this land." Nothing is promised here about that seed in which he
is made the father of all nations, but only about that by which he is
the father of the one Israelite nation; for by this seed that land was
possessed.
