📚 Historical Context
This follows Abram's journey to Egypt during a famine, where he had deceived Pharaoh about Sarah being his sister rather than his wife. After God intervened and Pharaoh discovered the truth, he sent Abram away with gifts. Now Abram is returning to the Promised Land, likely heading toward the Negev desert region in southern Canaan.
