Genesis 13:18

And Abram gathered his tents and set out, and he settled by the terebinth trees of Mamre (large trees – Hebr. elon) which are by (in) Hebron, and there he built an altar to the Lord (Yahweh).
[The Hebr. text has several verbs in quick succession, indicating rapid movement and showing Abram's immediate action and conviction that the promise will be fulfilled quickly! Hebron (Hebr. Chevrón) is located 30 km south of Jerusalem and is the junction of the road from the east (with cities such as Lachish) and the south (the Negev area). The exact location of Mamre is not given, but it is an oak grove in or near Hebron (there is also a cave nearby, see Gen. 25:9). The mention of a field (Gen. 23:17; 23:19) suggests that it may have been just outside Hebron.]
